Abstract

Fertility and gynaecological malignancies have an important relationship. A clear inverse relationship exists between family size and the incidence of ovarian and endometrial cancer. Current methods of fertility control have an influence on subsequent development of various gynaecological malignancies. A slightly increased risk of breast cancer has been reported in current users and those who had used hormonal contraceptives (OCs) within 10 years; this risk declined with time and disappeared after 10 years. Women who started OC before age 20 had a higher relative risk; the disease did not spread beyond the breast in the majority. Most studies found OC to reduce the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer. The relative risks of squamous cell carcinoma and adenomatous carcinoma of the cervix have been reported to be 1.3 and 1.5, respectively in ever-users of OCs; however, the aetiology of cervical cancer is multifactoral. Several reports suggest the beneficial effect of tubal ligation and breast feeding in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer. Therapy of gynaecological malignancies may have an influence on subsequent fertility. Amenorrhoea developing after treatment of hydatidiform mole may be due to choriocarcinoma, recurrent mole...Continue Reading
