Abstract in brief

The study investigates the link between different types of hormonal contraceptives, especially progestagen-only methods, and breast cancer risk in premenopausal women.
Analysis of health records from the UK identified 9,498 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and 18,171 matched controls, examining their contraceptive history through a nested case-control approach.
Findings indicate that nearly half of the women with breast cancer had used hormonal contraceptives, with progestagen-only methods making up a significant portion of prescriptions, suggesting a potential association that requires further exploration.

Doctors are so quick to prescribe hormones to women! The number of hormones in birth control not only doesn’t reduce the risk of breast cancer; but progesterone only birth control actually increases your risk of breast cancer by 20-30%. https://t.co/hoWNWiCGcB

Important research with paper available here https://t.co/XmclHaaBr1 Like COCP, absolute risk remains low and reduces with time since stopping. In highest risk age group assessed (oldest group) 15-year absolute excess risk of breast cancer increases from 2.0% to 2.2% so 0.2%⬆. https://t.co/6BWEpBJRlS

Bummer, but I'm keeping my Liletta. Not having it would increase my risk of endometrial cancer by 2.7 (#PCOS), and at least we're screening for the 0.3 breast cancer increase. Combined and progestagen-only hormonal contraceptives and breast cancer risk https://t.co/cJsDUgXB1A

@moveincircles Useful in discussion with any level of seriousness for commenters to read research for themselves. Study is specifically about comparing progestagen-only pills with combined pills, and finds 'a slight increase in breast cancer risk'.
