Abstract:
What's new? Are IUDs associated with endometrial cancer? Around the world, the intrauterine device is gaining popularity as a long‐term birth control strategy. Positioned as it is embedded in the uterine lining, an IUD could affect endometrial tissue. This study builds on previous work by considering the type of device used, in addition to factors such as duration of use. The authors found that women who had used an IUD, particularly an inert IUD, had less risk of endometrial cancer. The longer the device was used, they found, the more the cancer risk decreased.
