†Seventeen controls were excluded from this table; 14 cases excluded from the early stage cases and 17 cases excluded from advanced stage cases due to missing data for either parity or months of oral contraceptive use.

*Age adjusted(ORs).

**Multivariable adjusted (ORs) adjusted for age, months of oral contraceptive use, and parity.
