Oral contraceptives and cancer risks reviewed by FDA
FDA notes indicate unclear links between oral contraceptives and endometrial or breast cancer. While animal data suggest possible cancer risk with estrogens, human mortality from breast cancer has not risen and cases are extremely rare. Recommend caution and ongoing surveillance, with pelvic and breast exams at followup. Other cancers and endocrine effects are largely inconclusive, with no proven human corollaries or lasting fertility impact after stopping pills.
