Alarmed at the increase of breast cancer in young women (before 40 years), the Brazilian Society of Mastologia passed to recommend to its members that guide medical girls under 18 not to use contraceptive pills. The organization's president, Diogenes Bassegio, there is evidence that linked the prolonged use of contraception to the early onset of the disease, which boasts the fifth rank in mortality of patients of childbearing age.
"Until a few years ago saw no problems in the use of birth control. But international work and specialized services began to report evidence that the pill may increase breast cancer," says Bassegio. "We believe that the age of 18 avoid using the product," he concludes. In his doctoral thesis, which tripled Bassegio attested cases of breast cancer in women before the age of 40. In 2003, they accounted for 5.3% of cases, that rate jumped to 16.8% in 2007.
Although there is no scientific study to prove statistically the relationship between cancer and the pill, but specialists increasingly put to use the product in the list of risk factors. "In a sample of 84 patients, all under 40 years of age and treatment for breast cancer, we observed that 16% of them started to take pills at 13, 14 years," says Mário Mourão Netto, for the Department of Mastologia Hospital AC Camargo. He wishes to emphasize that the analysis is not research.
According to Maria Del Pilar says, coordinator of the Oncology Institute of Cancer of the State of São Paulo, "there is no specific guideline (the Office) with respect to the use of birth control by the doctors because there are no epidemiological data to support the relationship with cancer breast.
