Abstract
There has been increasing concern in recent years regarding a possible link between drugs given for infertility treatment and the subsequent risk of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer. Recent epidemiological s tudies reassure us that any effect, if present, is likely to be small, and does not affect women who conceive with such treatment. (C) 1998 Lippincott-Raven Publishers.
