Has my ovarian cancer been caused by talcum powder?
How long have medical experts known there was a link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer?
Even as early as the 1970s, medical researchers studying ovarian cancer detected talc fibers in the ovarian tissues of women diagnosed with cancer. In 2003, a meta-analysis examining 16 previous talcum powder ovarian cancer research was published in Anticancer Research, confirming that weekly use of baby powder increases the risk of ovarian cancer by 33%. In 2008, a study examined the frequency of talcum powder use and rates of cancer. The study found that women who use talcum powder daily have a greater chance of developing ovarian cancer. Scientists and doctors have been aware of the link between baby powder and cancer for decades. Even in light of this information, the substance remains unregulated in the United States.

Who is most at risk for developing baby powder ovarian cancer?
Many studies conducted over the course of the past four decades contribute to the body of research indicating the link between ovarian cancer and talcum powder use. Women who have used talc-based baby powder on a weekly basis face a 33% increase in their risk of developing ovarian cancer, and women who have used talcum powder on a daily basis are thought to face a 41% increase in risk for ovarian cancer. This may possibly allow researchers to narrow down the general age range of talcum powder users and therefore possible cancer victims. Yet, this information is not available at this time.
What are the dangers of talcum powder ovarian cancer?
Ovarian cancer is a deadly disease that is expected to cause approximately 14,000 fatalities this year. Unfortunately, few symptoms are likely to surface early stages of ovarian cancer when it is easiest to treat and has the highest survival rates. By the time symptoms of talcum powder ovarian cancer become apparent for most patients, the disease has spread beyond the ovaries and into other tissues/organs. Once the disease has spread, ovarian cancer is usually impossible to treat and the morbidity rates increase drastically.
