BIRTH CONTROL PILLS AND BREAST CANCER-
A recent study of low-dose birth control pills found no increase in breast cancer cases among current users and a lower risk of breast cancer among past users.
Some experts are not yet convinced that birth control pills are completely safe for women who have a strong family history of breast cancer or for women who have the high-risk BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations.
Several past studies have found a slightly higher-than-normal rate of breast cancer among current users. This may be because taking birth control hormones promotes the growth of breast cancer cells that are already present, but would not yet be multiplying on their own. On the other hand, it may be that these women were closely studied and breast cancer detection was better than in the normal population. -

Breast cancer is only loosely linked to birth control pills. The data says is a very slight risk.
Breast cancer is primarly linked to genetics today. BRAC 1,2 mutant genes.

Latest contraceptive pills do not have strong doses of hormones. So they are not linked to breast cancer
