People who have had 10 or more sexual partners during their lifetime may have increased odds of being diagnosed with cancer, a study suggests.

Women, in particular, have nearly twice the risk when they have had 10 or more past partners compared with when they had one or none, researchers report in BMJ Sexual and Reproductive Health.
