Cancer and In Vitro Fertilization. Is there really a risk?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

One of the biggest fears a woman faces when choosing an IVF<\/a> process is whether this treatment can lead to cancer later in her life. Concerns on the subject are reasonable, as this is a serious matter but the medical community responds with research and scientific evidence as to whether it is possible or just another myth.
\nContemporary international bibliography and global medical research show that there is no direct link between IVF and cancer.<\/strong> All researchers came to the conclusion that there is no clear evidence that assisted reproduction drugs are associated with the development of malignancy.<\/p>\n

But how was this myth born?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The hypothesis of correlation between In Vitro Fertilization and cancer was based on the theoretical basis that anything that disturbs the hormonal profile can be associated with the growth of cancer cells. Theoretically, elevated estrogens could be associated with the onset or growth acceleration of estrogen-dependent tumors, such as breast cancer. However, this approach remains a theoretical hypothesis, since no medical circle can support it with solid evidence.
\nEvidence is only something that is confirmed by clinical research. There is no clinical research to show that women who have had IVF are more likely to develop gynecological cancer than other women in the general population<\/span><\/div>\n

The research<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At Gyn Care IVF we apply evidence – based medicine<\/a>, ie making clinical decisions based on documented knowledge. In practice, we try to combine clinical judgment and experience with the available scientific data, in order to provide the best possible medical services to our patients. In this context, we use medical data, as presented in published studies.
\nThe relation between fertility drugs and breast cancer has been investigated in large and reliable studies. No statistically significant association has been found between fertility medication and risk for future cancer development.
\nHowever, in any case, we take into account the chances of developing cancer, related to each patient’s history.<\/p>\n
