Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

The article describes the case of a 42 year old woman who died of liver cell carcinoma; the woman had been on oral

contraceptives (OCs) for 10 years. The association between OCs and liver cancer is being reported more and more

frequently. Still, it is not clear exactly which is the mechanism that causes the malignant tumor. If coincidence and

preexisting tumor are ruled out, it is possible that OCs, diminishing biliar excretion, help the accumulation of

carcinogenetic substances. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 27-06)
