Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Oncology
  • Pharmacovigilance

Background:

  • Hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) are common contraceptives in Denmark.
  • Previous studies suggested a potential link between hormonal IUD use and breast cancer.
  • Conflicting evidence necessitates a clear understanding of the associated risks.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence from meta-analysis does not support an increased breast cancer risk with hormonal intrauterine devices.
  • Physicians must contextualize risk by considering absolute numbers when counseling patients.
  • Informed patient guidance regarding contraception and risks is paramount.
