Medscape: Possible Link Between SSRIs and Breast, Ovarian Cancer



"In the study, which was published online April 6 in PLoS ONE, Dr. Cosgrove and colleagues examined the potential association between tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) or SSRIs and cancer in 35 preclinical and 26 epidemiologic studies."

"If you take women who have the same stage of breast cancer, and half have depression and the other half do not, the women with depression have twice the rate of death...That's enormous. That is so much bigger than the small increased risk shown in this study."
