An Australian population-based cohort study showed that the overall incidence of cancer was not increased in women who underwent assisted reproduction. However, certain cancers were more common in this group. The study analyzed women after infertility treatment. The overall incidence of cancer remained at the same level as in the general population. Some specific types of cancer showed a slightly increased risk. The results emphasize the need for long-term follow-up of these patients. The study was published on MedPage Today.
