The long-term use of oral contraceptives is associated with the development of hepatic adenomas (benign tumor) not carcinomas. the reason is probaly the increase in estrogens. dont know more details.

estrogens contribute to HCC development primarily through mitogen stimulation ( p53 mutation )and secondarliy by mutagenesis via hydroxyl radicals produced during estrogen metabolism.
