Some Birth Control May Increase Breast Cancer Risk
A new study suggests that women who recently used certain birth control pills may increase their risk of breast cancer. Â
The findings in the journal Cancer Research show birth control pills with high doses of estrogen may increase the risk of breast cancer.
Pills with low dose estrogen did not increase risk.
Researchers say their findings need to be confirmed and stress that breast cancer is rare in young women and that oral contraceptives have many health benefits.
