Abstract

Results of earlier studies on cancer risk in infertile women are inconsistent for many cancer types. Our goal was to study cancer incidence among a cohort of women treated with IVF, including ICSI and frozen embryo transfer (FET), compared with that of a control population. A cohort of women who purchased drugs for IVF (including ICSI and FET treatments, n= 9175) in the period 1996-1998 in Finland (later called IVF women) and their age and residence-matched controls further adjusted for socio-economic position and marital status were linked to the Finnish Cancer Registry 1996-2004. The overall cancer incidence and combined incidence of hormonal-related breast, uterine and invasive ovarian cancers were similar among IVF women and controls. IVF women had statistically significantly less cervical cancer [odds ratio (OR): 0.51, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-0.85], but more skin cancers other than melanoma (OR: 3.11, 95% CI: 1.02-9.6). IVF women had three times more invasive ovarian cancers than controls, but this difference was not statistically significant, possibly due to the small number of cases. IVF women had slightly fewer breast cancers but difference was likewise not statistically significant. All cases of pulmonary ca...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
