Women who take the Pill for 10 years almost halve their risk of ovarian cancer, according to a study. But experts say this must be balanced against the risk of breast cancer, which is higher in women on the Pill. For every 100,000 women on the Pill for 10 years there are 50 extra breast cancers and 12 fewer ovarian cancers, data shows. The study is published in the British Journal of Cancer.
