Abstract
The influence of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) on the risk of childhood cancer is poorly understood. We sought to summarise the current literature as to the risk of cancer in children born from ART. Overall, we identified that the current evidence is divergent, with the results of several cohort studies and meta-analyses on this subject ranging from there being no risk or to there being an increased risk from being conceived by ART. Further large-scale cohort studies to determine the influence of ART on cancer risk are required. If a valid risk is present, experimental studies are necessary to determine whether this risk is associated with the use of fertility drugs or is due to the parental infertility.
