reports a new study by researchers at the University of Minnesota suggests that “certain rare childhood cancers may be more common in children conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF), a U.S. study suggests, but parents needn’t lose sleep over this finding.” The higher “risk of cancer may be due at least in part to advanced maternal age and other health factors that lead women to try IVF in the first place... [researchers said].” The findings were published in JAMA Pediatrics. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-ivf-cancer/ivf-tied-to-slight-increased-risk-of-rare-childhood-cancers-idUSKCN1RD365
