abstract = {When powder is applied to the genital area, it has the
potential to reach internal reproductive organs and promote
carcinogenesis by irritating and inflaming exposed tissues.
While many studies have considered the association between
genital powder use and ovarian cancer risk, the relationship
between genital powder use and uterine cancer is less
well-studied. We pooled data from four large, prospective
cohorts (the Nurses' Health Study, the Nurses' Health Study
II, the Sister Study, and the Women's Health Initiative -
Observational Study). We used Cox proportional hazards
models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and $95\%$ confidence
intervals (CI), adjusting for pre-specified confounders. In
total, 209 185 women were included, with $37\%$ reporting
ever genital powder use. Over a mean 14.5 years of
follow-up, 3272 invasive uterine cancers were diagnosed.
There was no overall association between ever genital powder
use and uterine cancer (HR = 1.01, $95\%$ CI: 0.94-1.09),
with little difference observed for frequent (≥1
times/week) vs never use (HR = 1.05, $95\%$ CI: 0.95-1.16;
p-for-trend = 0.46). Long-term use (>20 years;
HR = 1.12, $95\%$ CI: 0.96-1.31; p-for-trend = 0.14) was
associated with a small, but not statistically significant,
increase in risk, compared to never use. There were not
clear differences by uterine cancer histologic subtypes or
across strata of relevant covariates, including
race/ethnicity, follow-up time, menopausal status and body
mass index. The results of this large, pooled analysis do
not support a relationship between use of genital powder and
uterine cancer, though the positive associations observed
for long-term use may merit further consideration. This
