Genital Powder Use and Risk of Ovarian Cancer: A pooled analysis
The relationship between genital powder use and risk of ovarian cancer is not well understood. Information is available from 250,641 women, including 2,073 who developed ovarian cancer.
Genital powder use was common (38% of all women). Powder use was associated with a 9% increase in the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
This large prospective study observed a weak association of genital powder with ovarian cancer risk, which appeared to be limited to those women who had not had a tubal ligation or hysterectomy.
