Clinician's Roundtable Non-contraceptive benefits of contraceptives
Sep 24, 2007
13:00
Host: Michael Benson, MD
Guest: Robert Hatcher, MD, MPH
Our patients remain convinced that the birth control pill increases cancer risk. Yet one of the pill’s unappreciated benefits is the remarkable protection it can afford against ovarian cancer. This is but one of the non-contraceptive benefits of contraceptives that we will explore. You are listening to ReachMD, at our new home on XM 157. We are the Channel for medical professionals. In this show, we will be discussing Non-contraceptive benefits of birth control options. Dr. Robert Hatcher joins us to discuss benefits of contraception beyond mere birth control. He is a professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Emory University School of Medicine. Many in our audience will recognize him as the lead author of Contraceptive Technology, perhaps the most comprehensive book on contraception available. First written by Dr. Hatcher in 1967, the book’s 19th edition will be available shortly.
