The good news:

The contraceptive pill substantially reduces women’s risk of ovarian cancer and continues to protect them for at least 30 years after they stop taking it…The pill has prevented about 200,000 cases of ovarian cancer and 100,000 deaths around the world – mostly in the developed countries – over the last 50 years, they say. Because women get ovarian cancer later in life, often around 55 and onwards, those numbers will rise as the preventive effect kicks in for women who took the pill years ago.
