A systematic review of the effect of combined OCPs on women with a family history of breast cancer found no additional increase in risk. Investigators identified 3 retrospective cohort studies (N=66,500, with 8500 cases) and 7 case-control studies (total 10,500 cases) from the past 40 years, most including women from the United States and Canada, but one including women from 5 continents.
