Research has explored various aspects of this relationship, including the effects of #HormonalContraceptives, the validity of hormonal measurements, and the psychological outcomes associated with different phases of the menstrual cycle.

Study finds similar association of progestogen-only and combined hormonal contraceptives with breast cancer risk

There is a relative increase of 20% to 30% in breast cancer risk associated with both combined and progestogen-only contraceptives, whatever the mode of delivery, though with five years of use, the 15-year absolute excess incidence is at most 265 cases per 100,000 users. The results appear in a new study published March 21 in the open access journal PLOS Medicine by Kirstin Pirie of University of Oxford, U.K., and colleagues.
