Abstract:
Use of artificial technologies is increasing within the United States. Unfortunately, data describing the possible effects of 'superovulation' and potential risk of subsequent ovarian carcinoma are not well defined. This discussion focuses on current data regarding the potential for increased risk for ovarian carcinoma in patients who have undergone infertility evaluation and subsequent treatments.
