Davis CP, Bandera EV, Bethea TN, et al. - Researchers investigated the connection between genital powder use and ovarian cancer risk by race, using logistic regression, and utilizing data from five studies in the Ovarian Cancer in Women of African Ancestry consortium. Participants were 620 African-American cases, 1,146 African-American controls, 2,800 White cases, and 6,735 White controls who replied to queries regarding genital powder use prior to 2014. Higher odds of ovarian cancer were observed in relation to ever use of genital powder among African-American women (odds ratio [OR]=1.22; 95% CI=0.97-1.53. and White women (OR=1.36; 95% CI=1.19-1.57). It was found that African-American women had more prevalence of genital powder use, but the observed links between genital powder use and ovarian cancer risk were shown to be similar across race and did not materially differ based on histotype.
