Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Odds are very small, but there are scientific data which confirm that estrogen does increase risk for breast cancer. This is very small increase but this is the fact. Also it can cause blood clotting disorders. However,it is considered that benefits of estrogen are much higher than bad effects so if there is indication for it,it should be used.
Wish you good health. Regards
