Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies to affect women, and is the fifth leading cause of female cancer deaths. The risk of ovarian cancer is altered by a number of factors relevant to fertility and reproductive health. The recent puplication by Whittemore et al suggested that relative risk of ovarian cancer was increased in infertile women who had used fertility drugs. Although a causal relationship between fertility drugs and ovarian cancer could not be excluded, it clearly has not been demonstrated at the present time
