The absolute excess risk of developing breast cancer over a 15-year period in women with five years of using oral contraceptives ranged from eight in 100,000 women for use from age 16 to 20 to 265 in 100,000 for use from age 35 to 39, according to the new findings.

Women may face an increased breast cancer risk from taking any kind of hormonal contraceptive, a new study has found.

Earlier research found that taking the combined contraceptive pill , which includes oestrogen and progestogen, is associated with a small rise in the risk of getting breast cancer that goes down after stopping its use.
