Examples of ovarian in a Sentence

  5. Kevin McConway:

    One thing this research clearly demonstrates is how difficult it is to tie down whether something like this is indeed a risk factor for cancer.

If it does exist, there is uncertainty about whether the powder itself is what causes any increase in cancer risk. And there's also uncertainty about what the size of the risk increase is, if it there is one.
