We believe that as well as bone density loss, depo may be responsible for causing cancer as well.|||My dearest friend Cassie was put on depo for ovarian cysts and polycystic ovarian disease and now she is battling cervical cancer… and its definately not from a sexually transmitted Virus like HPV either… she is a virgin.|||I don%26#039;t know anyone who%26#039;s developed cancer from the depo alone. But I do know for a fact depo can cause a woman to develop a disease called PCOS which DOES cause ovarian cancer in some of her sufferers. I%26#039;m one of the people that depo provera has caused polycystic ovarian syndrome in and it%26#039;s terrible. Please don%26#039;t take depo if you%26#039;re considering it! It%26#039;s side effects outweigh any good to be benefited.|||Nope. No one I know. Including myself.|||no i have been on it for 7 years and LOVE it but i know of women who have diverse reactions to it i guess it all depends on family and med history|||I severely doubt that Depo Provera shots can have anything to do with Ovarian Cancer. Right after having a tumor and my right ovary removed, my doctor put me on birth control pills to help regulate my estrogen. Later she put me on Depo Provera to control my periods and have a hand on my estrogen.

I doubt very seriously that my doctor would have put me on a drug to treat Ovarian Cancer, if it had any kind of doubt that it would cause cancer. They would just be adding to the cancer cells in my body instead of killing them.
