A link between infertility therapy, especially ovulation induction therapy using gonadotropins, and the development of ovarian cancer has long been an issue of debate since an epidemiological report supporting the possibility appeared in 1992. A number of clinical/epidemiological and biological studies, including a few that we conducted, have revealed various facts regarding this issue. The aim of this short review was to summarize the last 10 years findings and to address the implications of the debates on this issue. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
