چکیده
Some 55 million women throughout the world currently use hormonal contraceptives; an even greater number have used them at some time in their lives.

For women who want to avoid or delay pregnancy, these methods offer a number of advantages: they are unsurpassed in effectiveness, and they are considered by many women to be convenient and discreet to use. However, one of the main concerns for women who consider whether or not to use hormonal contraceptives, is how these hormones might affect the risk of cancer. Obviously this is a question also asked by people who provide contraceptives, or who make recommendations concerning contraceptive use.
