Unless I am mistaken, the report I read recently concluded that progestogen only contraceptives do not increase the breast cancer or any cancer risk. The reason why women can't use Mirena who have had breast cancer or at risk from it is because breast cancer cells are sensitive to hormones which is why Mirena or any hormonal contraception is not recommended for use in these people.Oestrogen is the main risk factor in hormonal contraception, which of course Mirena does not contain.
