BACKGROUND and OBJECTIVE: Long –term effects of ovarian stimulation for In vitro fertilization (IVF) on the risk of cancers are unkoown.MATERIAL and METHOD: To present this review article, researcher used In vitro fertilization (IVF) and Cancer risk as key words and searched the google scholar, Cochrane library ,Up-to-date and Pub-med sites, and the result was 10 articles, that after study all of them carefully we selected 5 of them, and use their data in this article. Findings:Studies suggest no significant relationships of IVF exposures to the risks of breast, endometrial, or ovarian cancers. Results regarding long-term effects were largely reassuring but women receiving IVF should continue to be monitored given that the procedures involve potent ovulation stimulators and repeated ovarian punctures. Discussion and Conclusions:Studies of high methodological quality with larger population and longer follow up are required to provide more evidences for a better understanding of the association.
