Abstract

Breast cancer is divided into four molecular subtypes. Each one has distinct clinical features. The aim of this study was to assess individual breast cancer subtype risk in premenopausal women taking oral contraceptives (OCs). Databases (MEDLINE; PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library) were searched to January 2022 to identify case-control studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The influence of OCs intake on the risk of ER-positive breast cancer (ER+BC) was revealed to be non-significant with regard to reduction: OR = 0.9134, 95% CI: 0.8128 to 1.0265, p = 0.128. Assessment of ER-negative subtype breast cancer (ER−BC) risk indicated that OCs use significantly increased the risk: OR = 1.3079, 95% CI: 1.0003 to 1.7100, p = 0.050. Analysis for HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+BC) risk showed that OCs use statistically non-significantly lowered the risk: OR = 0.8810, 95% CI: 0.5977 to 1.2984, p = 0.522. Meta-analysis with regard to Triplet-negative breast cancer (TNBC) risk showed non-statistically significant increased risk: OR = 1.553, 95% CI: 0.99 to 2.43, p = 0.055. The findings of the meta-analysis suggest that breast cancer risk in premenopausal women may vary with respect to molecular subtypes. Extensive scientific work is still necessary in order to understand the impact of OCs use on breast cancer risk in young women.
