Prolonged use of certain progestogen hormone drugs is associated with an increased risk of developing a type of brain tumor known as an intracranial meningioma, finds a study from France published by The BMJ today.
In the study, they compared each case of a woman who received surgery for meningioma to five other women who did not, matching them with five people of similar age and location to control for those variables. Then they got medical histories on all the women to see how these hormonal therapies impacted meningioma rates
