| Core Tip |
A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies conducted recently concluded that oral contraceptive use was associated with a decreased risk of pancreatic cancer in women. However, the author found potential errors in the selection and extraction processes. The recalculated summary relative risks and the results of a dose-response meta-analysis showed that oral contraceptive use may not be associated with the risk of pancreatic cancer in women. As this conclusion contradicted that reported recently, it is necessary to re-evaluate the direction and statistical significance of this risk through an updated meta-analysis in the future. |
