- But the NTP advisers said putting all\n\

- women trying to balance the benefits and\n\
- risks when choosing hormone therapy.\n\
- Physicians never discuss any of these risks\n\

- toxicologist from Durham, N.C., said before\n\

- The committee of scientists advises the NTP,\n\
- a branch of the National Institutes of Health\n\
- that every two years updates the federal list\n\
- of proven and suspected cancer-causing\n\
- substances.\n\
- \n\
- The NTP typically follows its advisers\n\
- recommendations, but an officially updated\n\

- Thursday, after a daylong debate, the panel\n\
- declined to add talc powder to the list,\n\
- saying there wasnt enough evidence linking\n\
- its use in feminine hygiene products to\n\
- ovarian cancer. The panel deadlocked over\n\
- whether to a second type of talc, fibrous\n\
- talc that some studies have linked to lung\n\
- cancer in talc miners.\n\
- \n\
- On Wednesday, the panel voted to add\n\
- ultraviolet radiation -- those\n\
- sunburn-causing rays long known to cause skin\n\
- cancer -- to the official carcinogen list.\n\
- \n\
- The panel on Friday continued debating an\n\
- association between cancers of the nose and\n\
- sinuses with industrial exposure to wood\n\
- dust.\n\
- \n\
- Talc has long been controversial. When\n\
- studies first appeared suggesting it migrated\n\
- into the ovaries to cause tumors, many\n\
- feminine hygiene products replaced talc with\n\
- cornstarch.\n\
- \n\
- Panelist Medinsky said she had been prepared\n\
- to list talc powder as reasonably believed\n\
- to cause cancer. But after listening to\n\
- hours of industry attacks on the science,\n\
- the evidence has knocked me out of the\n\
- reasonably category into not list, she\n\
- said before the panel voted 7-3 against\n\
- listing talc.\n\

- Most people are familiar with talc as a loose\n\
- powder used in cosmetics and as a drying\n\
