The case for preventing ovarian cancer
In this week's podcast Pam Das discusses the Editorial calling for oral contraceptives to be made more widely available to women 'over the counter'. This is in response to a study showing how long-term use of oral contraceptives is protective against ovarian cancer, discussed by Professor Valerie Beral (University of Oxford, UK). >>
From The Lancet
At least 100,000 deaths from ovarian cancer have been prevented in the UK by the contraceptive pill over 50 years, research has concluded.
The Oxford University team said the pill's rising popularity meant 30,000 new cases will soon be avoided each year, the Lancet reported.
