A key to protecting women against one of the deadliest and hardest to diagnose
cancers may lie in birth control.
Researchers say they have more evidence 'the pill' protects against ovarian
cancer.
The British study finds that women who took 'the pill' for 15 years, cut their
chances of developing ovarian cancer by 50 percent.
It also shows that the risk remained low 30 years after women stopped taking
the birth control.
However, studies have suggested a slight increase in the risk of breast and cervical
cancer in women while they are taking the pill, but once you stop the pill,
those increases gradually go away within 10 years.
There are also side effects, including risk of blood clots and high blood
pressure.
