Fertility after cryopreservation of ovarian tissue due to cancer treatment.

Bakgrunn: Kryopreservering av ovarialvev som fertilitetsbevarende metode tilbys prepubertale jenter og kvinner i reproduktiv alder med høy risiko for å utvikle prematur ovarialsvikt i forbindelse med medisinsk eller kirurgisk behandling. I denne studien ønsket vi å kartlegge fertilitet og prematur ovarialsvikt hos kvinner som har fått gjort kryopreservering av ovarialvev i forbindelse med kreftbehandling.

Materiale Og Metode: Et spørreskjema ble i 2014 sendt til 94 kvinner over 18 år som i perioden 2004-12 hadde fått kryopreservert ovarialvev i forbindelse med behandling for en malign tilstand.

Cancer Risk in Women Treated with Fertility Drugs According to Parity Status-A Registry-based Cohort Study.

Long-term safety of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) is of interest as their use is increasing. Cancer risk is known to be affected by parity. This study examined the risk of cancer after fertility treatment, stratified by women's parity.

Risk of Cancer in Children Conceived by Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Background And Objective: An increasing number of children are born after assisted reproductive technology (ART), and monitoring their long-term health effects is of interest. This study compares cancer risk in children conceived by ART to that in children conceived without.

Methods: The Medical Birth Registry of Norway contains individual information on all children born in Norway (including information of ART conceptions).

Risk of breast cancer following fertility treatment--a registry based cohort study of parous women in Norway.

Despite increasing numbers of women availing themselves of assisted reproductive technology (ART), effects on cancer risk remain unresolved. Given hormonal exposures, breast cancer risk is of particular concern. The aim of this study is to investigate breast cancer risk amongst women giving birth following ART as compared to that amongst women who gave birth without ART.

Infertility treatment and the risk of cancer.

Background: A possible correlation between hormonal stimulation during treatment of infertility and the risk of cancer of the breast, the ovaries, the cervix or the uterus has been investigated in a number of epidemiological studies. The purpose of this article is to review the relevant literature and summarise the findings. KNOWLEDGE BASE: This review article is based on literature searches in the databases MEDLINE, Cochrane and EMBASE.
