The incidence of breast cancer among users and non-users of oral contraceptives (OC) was determined at the Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington [USA], a health care organization which maintains computer files of diagnoses and outpatient drug use. In women 45 yr of age or younger, the incidence was nearly identical in users and non-users. In premenopausal women over 45 yr of age, there was a positive association between current OC use and breast cancer, the risk ratio estimates and 90% confidence intervals being 4.0 (1.8-9.0) in women 46-50 yr of age and 15.5 (5.2-46) in women 51-55 yr of age.
