History of malignant neoplasia lessens oocyte developmental competence: a case-control study.

Objective: We investigated how history of malignant neoplasia affected oocyte developmental competence.

Methods: Fifty-two cycles of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in women with a history of malignant disease (case group) were compared with fifty-two matched cycles of ART in women with no cancer history (control group). Propensity score matching involving age and body mass index was used to select controls.
