Infertility May Point To Higher Risk Of Ovarian Cancer.

reports on its website that a large study of women who sought help for fertility problems in Britain suggests the “need for fertility treatments may point to a higher risk of ovarian cancer.” The study found “those women had a 60 percent higher risk of developing the hard-to-treat cancer.” The researchers found that women who underwent more cycles of fertility treatment were not at an increased risk, which “suggests that it wasn’t the treatment itself that raises a woman’s risk, said Dr. Owen Davis, president-elect of” the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/can-infertility-point-ovarian-cancer-risk-n447901
