...there have been no long-term medical studies of donors. But fertility doctors agree that a lot can be gleaned from the smattering of studies of long-term risks for infertility patients, who receive the same protocol for ovarian stimulation and retrieval as donors. The primary health concern is cancer, and studies assessing cancer rates among infertility patients have drawn conflicting results. Many such studies are hobbled by small sample groups, or are too short term. The most extensive study to date, published in February in the American Journal of Epidemiology, used historical data from women who gave birth...
