In vitro fertilization, endometriosis, nulliparity and ovarian cancer risk



ScienceDirect.com - Gynecologic Oncology - In vitro fertilization, endometriosis, nulliparity and ovarian cancer risk

Conclusions

There is no evidence of an increased risk of ovarian cancer following IVF in women who give birth. There is some uncertainty regarding the effect of IVF in women who remain nulliparous. Parous women diagnosed with endometriosis may have a slightly increased risk of ovarian cancer; nulliparous women have a marked increase in risk.

Highlights

► Infertile women who remain nulliparous have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
► In nulliparous, endometriosis increases risk and IVF may also be a risk factor.
► There is little or no increase in risk with IVF or endometriosis in parous women.
