“This is the largest study to look at ovarian cancer and they’re right, it’s a (major strength) of the study,” said Louise Brinton, the chief of the National Cancer Institute’s hormonal and (reproductive) epidemiology branch, adding that she was (surprised) the authors played down the finding of an association between Clomid and serous ovarian cancer, which may be more (influenced) by hormonal factors than some other tumors. Clomid is one of the older drugs in use. Dr. Roberta Ness, (dean) of the University of Texas School of Public Health and the author of an earlier (analysis) that found no association between the drugs and cancer, said that finding might have been an aberration. “When you’re doing multiple analyses and (splitting this way), that way and the other, the likelihood this is just a (spurious) finding is greater than the likelihood it’s real.”
