Blair H. Smith,Alison M Elliott,W. A. Chambers,William Cairns Stewart Smith,Philip C Hannaford,Kay I Penny +5 more

The course of chronic pain in the community: results of a 4-year follow-up study.
Alison M Elliott,Blair H. Smith,Philip C Hannaford,William Cairns Stewart Smith,W. A. Chambers +4 more

Philip C Hannaford,Sivasubramaniam Selvaraj,Alison M Elliott,Valerie Christine Angus,Lisa Iversen,Amanda J Lee +5 more
TL;DR: Oral contraception was not associated with an overall increased risk of cancer; indeed it may even produce a net public health gain; the balance of cancer risks and benefits may vary internationally, depending on patterns of oral contraception usage and the incidence of different cancers.
