OBJECTIVE: To review primary literature regarding the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in users of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) containing drospirenone compared to COCs containing other progestins. DATA SOURCES: A literature search of MEDLINE and EMBASE (1950-January 2010) was conducted using the following search terms: VTE, thrombosis, thromboembolism, COC, combined hormonal contraceptives, drospirenone, Yasmin, and Yaz. Additional references were retrieved from reference citations…

There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against the use of OCs solely for the primary prevention of ovarian cancer, and the harm/benefit ratio was much more favorable when protection against endometrial and colorectal cancers was added.
