Breast Cancer and Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Systems

Research output: Contribution to journal › Letter › peer-review

Abstract

To the Editor We are concerned that some of the methodological approaches in a recent study1 linking use of LNG-IUSs to increased risk of breast cancer may lead to spurious associations and limit the generalizability of the results outside of the selected subpopulation in the study.
