Lieff Cabraser is investigating reports of a link between prolonged use of the injectable birth control drug DepoProvera and the development of brain tumors (cerebral meningiomas). A March 2024 British Medical Journal study found that across a population of over 108,000 women who underwent surgery for brain tumors, data identified a potential causal link between the prolonged use of DepoProvera (and similar birth control drugs) and the growth of brain tumors.

The study highlighted that the tumors themselves have receptors for progesterone-based drugs like DepoProvera: “Progesterone receptors are present in more than 60% of meningiomas, and the volume of these tumours has been observed to increase during pregnancy and to decrease post partum.”
