higher risk for cancer?

Reply Quote
I was surprised to read that lesbians are at higher risk of developing gynecologic cancers and thought I'd try to get some feedback here. I didn't believe it at first, but research seems to support it. The use of oral contraceptives and giving birth decrease the chances of getting endometrial or ovarian cancer.

I'm refferencing this article:

Anyone have any more resources?
