Description

Luyao Wang and ten colleagues asked whether a past cancer or precancer diagnosis worsens fertility treatment outcomes. Cancer incidence is rising in younger women, and many later seek IVF. The retrospective study ran at a Tongji Hospital reproductive center from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty-two. It enrolled 1,004 patients: 251 with a history of malignancy or precancerous lesions, matched against 753 controls. Cumulative live birth rate across cycles was the main outcome.

The history group showed significantly lower ovarian reserve and poorer embryo outcomes. Both conservative and optimistic cumulative live birth rates ran lower than in controls. Propensity matching balanced the groups' baselines before comparison. The twenty twenty-six findings help counselors give cancer survivors honest odds, and may influence how much time clinicians spend optimizing treatment before starting.
