abstract: Genital powder exposure and the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer Cancer Causes and Control, Online First™



Conclusions

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated perineal exposure to talc (via the application of genital powders) as a possible carcinogen in women. A modest association of ovarian cancer with this exposure was seen in our study and in some previous ones, but that association generally has not been consistent within or among studies. Therefore, no stronger adjective than “possible” appears warranted at this time.
