- "Screening mammography in women 40 to 49 years of age" - Amir Qaseem, Department of Clinical Programs and Quality of Care, American College of Physicians, Philadelphia, PA, USA
"The take home message is that we are recommending that physicians should periodically assess individual woman's risk of developing breast cancer and that screening mammography decisions be made on the basis of a conversation between women and their clinicians,. This conversation should address the woman's risk of breast cancer, her concerns and preferences about breast cancer and screening, and the benefits and harms of screening mammography. We want women to be fully informed about the benefits and risks from screening mammography, and to have the opportunity to participate in the decision to the extent they desire to. If a woman decides that the benefits outweigh the risks, we fully support her decision. If a woman decides that she wants to defer mammography, we recommend that she and her clinician re-address this decision every 1 to 2 years"

"The majority of epidemiological
studies demonstrate that use of oral contraceptives decreases the
risk of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. However, there is no
consensus regarding the effect of dose of estrogen and progestin
components on risk.
In our population-based
case-control study, we showed that oral contraceptives with low
potency of estrogen and progestin components were at least as
effective in reducing ovarian cancer risk as high potency
formulations.
This study is unique in
that a relatively large subset of women exclusively used oral
contraceptive pills with norethindrone with no intra-individual
variation in its dose. Among these women, using low doses of norethindrone was
associated with significantly lower odds of developing ovarian
carcinoma as compared to using high-dose norethindrone
formulations (adjusted for estrogen dose). The fact that these low potency oral contraceptives reduce the
risk of ovarian cancer is reassuring considering the present-day
tendency to prescribe low-dose oral contraceptives. Future studies
that include larger numbers of women are needed to further
evaluate the association of low dose oral contraceptive
formulations with ovarian cancer risk" .
