Cancer in women with infertility
Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol.
1998 Jun.
Abstract
There has been increasing concern in recent years regarding a possible link between drugs given for infertility treatment and the subsequent risk of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer. Recent epidemiological studies reassure us that any effect, if present, is likely to be small, and does not affect women who conceive with such treatment.
