full free access: PLoS ONE: Antidepressants and Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risk: A Review of the Literature and Researchers' Financial Associations with Industry



Background

Antidepressant (AD) use has been purported to increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, although both epidemiological and pre-clinical studies have reported mixed results [1][6].

It is recommended that future research examine this body of literature and investigate the association between industry funding and qualitative conclusions regarding cancer risk.
