New research suggests what at first glance is a startling increase in the chances of developing breast cancer if a woman uses the particularly high-estrogen versions of the contraceptive pill, but it’s important to put these findings in context.
Researchers from the American Association for Cancer Research, publishing in the journal Cancer Research, looked at the health data and contraceptive history of more than 1,000 women sampled from 1990 to 2009 who used birth control pills and had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between the ages of 20 and 49. They compared that with the data of 21,952 women who had never had breast cancer. The media has turned what those researchers found into a scary sounding statistic: that women who used contraceptive pills were, on average, 50 percent more likely to develop (estrogen receptor-positive) breast cancer than those who had never used oral contraceptives or who had ceased using them 10 years ago.
