Price of the Child - Cancer
|
Couples wishing to whatever has been already have your own child could pay a much higher price than imply.
Many families, for whatever reason, unable to conceive a child naturally, turning to the services of modern medicine, which allows conceive a child "from the tubes." Artificial or extracorporal fertilization - the industry is extremely developed in Israel. But not so simple.
Recent studies carried out by Israeli physicians showed that in vitro fertilization significantly increases the risk of breast cancer.
In Israel, tens of thousands of women each year undergo procedures necessary for the "conception of the tube." Studies have shown that the risk of breast cancer, in this case, increasing by 40%. Furthermore, it was found that breast cancer among women who had taken place procedures required for in vitro fertilization, significantly younger age compared to women who are not subjected to these procedures.
The reason for conducting such research was that other provinces in the past been known that the hormonal s increase the risk of breast cancer. Women undergoing a course of treatment for infertility, imposed higher doses of female hormone estrogen, in order to reduce the likelihood of miscarriage, after the procedure extracorporal fertilization (IVF). And the same hormone seems to lead to crowding and reproduction of cancer cells.
In recent years, similar studies were conducted on several occasions, but their results were somewhat contradictory. Some argued that the link between IVF and breast cancer does not exist, others assured that these facts are linked only partially. This time, surveillance was conducted in more than 10,000 women, and the results have been staggering. Studies by the hospital Asaf ha-Rofe, showed the risk increases by 40%.
Physicians take into account the age and women held their treatment, and the number of courses of hormones, which they passed (since the order to get pregnant, it is not always just a course of treatment). According to the study - the average age of women, on the course of treatment, 32 years and the average number of courses per woman - 3.15. The average age of women who subsequently developed breast cancer - 44 years.
The second study showed that the older woman passing of infertility treatment, the higher the risk of the disease. Women aged 30 to 40 years are much more likely to become a victim of breast cancer than younger.
However, even despite frightening statistics, women say that they are ready to take risks for the sake of happiness to have their own children. 40-year-old Iris Ron, izlechivshayasya cancer three years ago and is under the supervision of doctors, in an interview with a correspondent of the newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth said that the research findings are not surprised: "I am convinced that the link between cancer, which I and Eco there perebolela . Anyway, I went to proper procedures, even if warned me in advance on the current risk. "
