The supplementation of either of these forms of estrogen increases serum estradiol and estrone due to the pathways by which they are metabolized. In contrast, several studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between estriol levels and breast cancer as well as antitumor effects of estriol.27,111-113 ... "
