PROGESTERONE: FRIEND OR FOE?


            Linda on top of the world:  Colorado  

  What’s a dumb geologist to do?  I took them at their word; taking birth control pills cut the probability of contracting OVCA.  Presumably, I thought, because it cut down on ovulation and associated phenomena, and therefore – I surmised – reduced the risk of deleterious mutations.  Now, however, if you can believe the rats (lab mice, actually), an important hormone contained in such medicaments - progesterone – actually aids metastatic behavior!  Thus, if you do get cancer, the pills will help it spread faster?  So, I guess, you[d better read the article below, then ask somebody who actually understand these things.
