However, the authors stress that more research is needed to establish the extent to which women remain at an increased risk of cervical cancer after they have stopped using this form of contraception.

Investigators from Cancer Research U.K.'s Epidemiology Unit in Oxford and the International Agency for Research on Cancer in France reviewed data from 28 published studies (which included more than 12,500 women with cervical cancer). Their results were published in the April 5, 2003, Lancet.
