The study, which has been published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, focused on women between the ages of 15 and 49, and discovered a link between the use of the contraceptives and a higher risk in developing a rare tumour – glioma of the brain.
The researchers looked at data from Denmark's national administrative and health registries. This allowed them to identify the women in Denmark who had a first-time diagnosis of between 2000 and 2009. A total of 317 cases were found in women aged 15 to 49, and these were compared with eight age-matched women who did not have any gliomas.
Despite finding a link, however, research team leader, Dr David Gaist of the Odense University Hospital and University of Southern Denmark, said the risk for women is still small.
He explained: "In a population of women in the reproductive age, including those who use hormonal contraceptives, you would anticipate seeing five in 100,000 people develop a glioma annually, according to the nationwide Danish Cancer Registry."
