Spence Law Firm Investigating Cancer Causing Birth Control Shot

May 05, 2025

The Spence Law Firm is investigating a specific kind of cancer caused by the birth control shot Depo-Provera. A percentage of women who took Depo Provera subsequently developed meningioma brain tumors.

Depo-Provera is a common birth control injection that is administered every three months to prevent pregnancy.

A 2024 study published in the British Medical Journal found that women who use Depo-Provera for more than a year were 5.6 times more likely to develop meningioma.

Meningioma brain tumors are the most common type of brain tumors. While they are not usually cancerous, they can cause life-threatening injuries and even death.
