The initial question must be whether the clinical data point to the emergence of complications of this type. The 1990 International Consensus Meeting found an increase in acute cardiovascular accidents during use of oral contraceptives, but not persisting after they had been discontinued. There is also a great deal of anecdotal evidence, although in view of the massive scale on which oral contraceptives have been used over 40 years, coincidence alone would lead to the accumulation of many reports of adverse events. Other evidence suggesting an increase in arterial thrombotic events has been noted incidentally in...

A total of 3,683 women were included in the study. The recall rate for diagnostic work-up after consensus meeting was 3.5% for SFM and 4.6% for FFDM (p < 0.05). The cancer detection rate in the study group (n = 3,683 women) was significantly higher when compared with women not included in the study (Fisher s exact test, p < 0.05). This was, however, of no importance for the study itself, as the aim was to compare SFM vs. FFDM in a paired study design. A total of 31 cancers were found in the study group (detection rate 0.84%), of which 28 were...
