What is the relationship between the birth pill and cancer of the ovary?
Several studies have provided convincing evidence that ovarian cancer is less likely to occur in women who have taken the combined oral contraceptive pill. Your risk of ovarian cancer is reduced by about 50% if you have taken the combined oral contraceptive pill for at least five years. The protection continues for about 15 to 20 years after you stop taking the combined oral contraceptive pill. This protection appears to be independent of the brand of pill used. It is likely that the combined oral contraceptive pill needs to have been taken for a minimum of two years to achieve this protection. The incidence of ovarian cancer seems to be falling and this is likely to be related to this benefit of the combined oral contraceptive pill.
