Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: there is an increased risk of some haematologic cancer in children born by assisted reproductive techniques but not in overall cancer.

Reviewers’ commentary: the small increased risk of leukemia and Hodgkin lymphoma, as well as the notable difference in the age tracking cohorts, reduces the study’s quality of evidence. More studies are needed before attributing carcinogenic effect to assisted reproductive techniques.
