I like this take from MD Anderson Cancer Center:

“Talk to your doctor and weigh all of the pros and cons before deciding if the pill is right for you,” Milbourne says.

After all, the pill may put some women at increased risk for other health problems, such as blood clots, heart disease and stroke. And, some women can’t remember to take a pill every day.

“Don’t pick your birth control based on the cancer risks alone,” Milbourne says. “The best birth control method is the one that works best for your lifestyle and your health concerns.”
