There are people who are now starting to believe that taking birth control bills can increase the chance of getting cancer.
But what about the birth control pills that have been shown to decrease the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers? Moreover, the longer one takes the pill, there seem to be greater the preventive benefit.

While there isn’t really a good research that has been done on this topic and there is real evidence regarding breast cancer, but some experts say that the risk of premenopausal breast cancer may be slightly increased, but postmenopausal risk might be decreased after the pill has been taken for a while.

Interesingly, most of the breast cancers are postmenopausal. Some scientists say that women who are in their 60s and 70s are less likely to get breast cancer if they’ve been on the pill. They say that the likelihood or chances of one getting the cancer, adenocarcinoma of the cervix, can rise with use of the pill slightly afterwards. But that’s a very rare cancer and even if the risk were to be multiplied several times it would still be considered very small.
