CVClaire Melissa VajdicAWAdrian WalkerAAAntoinette Anazodo

Key Points

  • To assess cancer incidence in women who underwent medically assisted reproduction (MAR) compared to the general population.
  • Cohort study design
  • Comparison of cancer incidence rates
  • Analysis of different cancer types
  • Evaluation of overall cancer trends among women
  • Overall cancer incidence was similar to that of the general population.
  • Certain cancers showed elevated incidence but with small excess numbers.
  • Some cancers exhibited reduced incidence among the study group.

Abstract

In this cohort study of cancer incidence in women who received MAR, the overall incidence of cancer was comparable with that of the general population. The incidence of certain cancers appeared elevated; however, the excess numbers of these cancers were small, and there was reduced incidence of other cancers. Causation cannot be inferred from this descriptive evidence, but findings may guide women and their health care practitioners.
