By Susan Blumenthal, M.D. and Alexandrea Adams
The recent commemoration of National Women’s Health Week provided an important time to mark the progress that has been made in advancing women’s health over the past two decades and to highlight what more needs to be done to achieve women’s health equity in America.

The pill provides 'lifelong protection against some cancers'
Conclusion
The research is in line with other studies that have reported on cancer risk and the pill.

The researchers took account of some basic factors that affect cancer risk, but not others like diet, physical exercise, weight and alcohol use.
