- Abstract
For Black women, a nonsignificant, slow rate decline for 1992 through 2005 of -0.2 APC was followed by a significant, moderate rise in the rate for 2005 through 2012 of 1.1 APC, and a significant, rapid decline in the rate for 2012 through 2017 of -2.0 APC. A joinpoint regression analysis of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prescription data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey4 found 2 significant, extremely rapid declines in prescriptions for women aged >=50 years: -26.2 APC for 2001 through 2004 and -10.3 APC for 2004 through 2012. The analysis performed in that study,4 which was not of mammary carcinoma rates in toto but rather of invasive ductal carcinoma rates and invasive lobular carcinoma rates, found no relationship between those rates and HRT prescriptions.
