Abstract
In the article that accompanies this editorial, O'Brien et al use a variety of methods to address the impact of bias on the association between intimate care products and hormone-related cancers (ovarian, uterine, and breast)—observing that genital powder use and douching were each associated with ovarian cancer risk even after accounting for multiple bias scenarios. Given that genital powder use and douching are modifiable exposures potentially associated with a highly fatal disease, these data suggest that people at risk for ovarian cancer, particularly those in their 20s and 30s, should be made aware of the potential risks.
