Birth control pills still linked to breast cancer. A Danish study which tracked 1.8 million women over the course of a decade has found that birth control pills and contraceptive devices that release hormones may cause an increased risk of breast cancer. These findings reinforce previously held beliefs that hormonal contraceptive methods may lead to a higher likelihood of breast cancer. While a lot of women think that new pills and devices are safer due to a lower amount of hormones, researchers are looking into the progestin hormone which is often used these days as a potential cause for the higher risk. They have also determined that there were not many differences in terms of IUDs and pills, as they both release hormones in the body. These findings may change the way doctors approach prescribing these medications.
