Birth control pills and liver cancer

Several studies have found that pills increase the risk of liver cancer in populations usually considered low risk, such as white women in the United States and Europe who do not have liver disease. In these studies, women who used pills for longer periods of time were found to be at increased risk for liver cancer. However, pills did not increase the risk of liver cancer in Asian and African women, who are considered high risk for this disease. Researchers believe this is because other risk factors, such as hepatitis infection, outweigh the effect of pills.
