That is not what mainline science has shown. HRT was
harmful,
period.

HRT had immediate benefits.

You are the fool. If any advantage were large, it would have been
established years ago.

You keep playing the fool. I could just as easily (and as baselessly)
say
the converse.

It is truly pitiful that surgical procedures have been in use for 100
years before there is a true scientific evaluation. This is just plan
criminal.

Some surgical procedures have been in use for thousands of
years. Do you think that amputations started only 100
years ago?

I was speaking specifically of prostate surgery.

The current gold standard for prostatectomy is an open radical retropubic
prostatectomy. As it is done today, it's only a few decades old, having
undergone a huge revision at that time. The newest method - robotic - is
still in its infancy. PSA screening has only been around since the 1990's
and thus the prostate cancer we're operating now is generally less advanced
than it was before then, when patients often presented with metastatic and
thus inoperable disease - or locally advanced disease. We really are in a
new era of prostate surgery.
