But the risk associated with progestin-only contraceptives is broadly in line with the risk already known to be associated with contraceptives that combine estrogen and progestin, a new study says
, a co-author of the study and professor of statistical epidemiology at the University of Oxford, in an interview. In fact, “it may be reassuring to know that these newer contraceptives that women are using in increasing numbers do not have any untoward effects that might be unexpected. They do seem to behave pretty much as the traditional contraceptives.”
The study’s authors compared data from 9,498 women under the age of 50 who had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer with more than 18,000 closely matched control subjects who hadn’t been diagnosed with cancer. “Although this [study] does confirm an increase, we don’t want women to suddenly stop taking contraceptives because of it, and there’s no indication in these findings that women should necessarily change their contraceptive or do anything different,” Reeves said. “These new types of contraceptives look as if they behave very similarly to others, in terms of their effects on breast cancer risk.
