Oral contraceptive pills have been made available to women since the beginning of the 1960s. The pill (oral contraceptive pill, ovulation inhibitor) is the most sure of all contraceptive methods. With the beginning of applicating the pill, there had been fear of increasing breast cancer risk due to contained hormones. It is assumed that every third woman had ever taken oral contraceptive pills in her life. Yet, breast cancer incidence did not increase world-wide in an extent as would have been expected if the pill really were operating in a breast cancer promoting manner.
自20世纪60年代初以来，女性就可以使用口服避孕药。避孕药（口服避孕药，排卵抑制剂）是所有避孕方法中最可靠的。随着避孕药的开始应用，人们曾担心由于所含激素会增加患乳腺癌的风险。据推测，每三名女性中就有一人一生中曾服用过口服避孕药。然而，全球乳腺癌发病率并未像如果避孕药真的以促进乳腺癌的方式起作用时所预期的那样增加。
