Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor in a Newborn: Can IVF Be a Risk Factor?

In recent years, with the widespread use of assisted reproductive technologies, questions have arisen regarding the possible relationship between these infertile parents with assisted conception procedures and childhood cancers.
