Researchers point to a major drop in women's use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as the likely reason for the decline in breast cancer rates. The sharpest decline -- 7 percent -- came in 2003. That's the year after a major national study of a combination hormone replacement therapy found the treatment increased the risk of breast cancer and heart disease. Many women were advised to stop taking HRT.
