Perhaps in the pill cause breast cancer?
I've always heard it was a myth. But today, I came across a report on www.preventcancer.com (ANC by Cancer Prevention Coalition) said that increases risk. He said this was particularly true among women who started the pill in their teens or 20 years without a pregnancy carried first term. So what is truth?
Prettyinpunkk G'day, Thanks for your question. Estrogen pills based also been associated with increased risk of breast cancer in rare cases, high estrogen pills may cause benign intracranial hypertension. The Institute National Cancer has a fact sheet that contains an answer to this question. "# How do oral contraceptives affect the risk of breast cancer? In a woman's risk of developing breast cancer depends on several factors, some related to its natural hormones. Hormonal factors that increase the risk of cancer breast may include conditions which allow high levels of hormones to persist for long periods of time as the onset of menstruation at an early age (before 12) who experience menopause at a late age (after 55 years), having a first child after 30 years of age and no children. In 1996, the analysis epidemiological data worldwide conducted by the Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer found that pill users women who were current or recent had a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer. The risk was higher for women who began using contraceptives Oral adolescence. However, 10 years or more after women stopped using oral contraceptives, their risk of developing breast cancer returned to same level as if he had ever used the pill, regardless of family history of breast cancer, reproductive history, geographic area residence, source of ethnic differences in study design, dose and type of hormones, or duration of use. Furthermore, breast cancers diagnosed women after 10 years or more did not use oral contraceptives were less advanced than breast cancers diagnosed in women who had never used contraceptives oral. To perform this analysis, researchers examined the results of 54 studies. The analysis included 53,297 women with breast cancer and 100,239 women without breast cancer. Over 200 researchers participated in this combined analysis of their original studies, representing about 90 percent Epidemiological studies worldwide who had investigated the possible relationship between oral contraceptives and breast cancer (2). The results of contraception for women and experiences of reproductive health care (women) in their study were in contrast to those described above. Women's CARE Study has examined the use of the SCO as a factor risk for breast cancer in women 35 to 64. The researchers interviewed 4575 women who are diagnosed with breast cancer between 1994 and 1998, and 4682 women without breast cancer. The researchers collected detailed information on participants using oral contraception, reproductive history, health and family history. The results were published in 2002 stated that current or past use of CO did not significantly increase the risk of breast cancer. Results were similar in black and white women. Factors such as longer periods of use, high doses of estrogen, initiation of OC use before age 20, and D. its use in women with a family history Breast cancer is not associated with an increased risk of disease (3). In a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-sponsored study published in 2003, researchers examined risk factors for breast cancer in women aged 20 to 34 compared with women 35 to 54 years. Women diagnosed with breast cancer were asked whether had used oral contraceptives for more than 6 months before diagnosis and, if so, whether the use of most recent being within 5 years, 5 to 10 years more than 10 years. The results indicated that the risk was higher among women who used OCs within 5 years before diagnosis, particularly in the younger group (4).
