Rare eye cancer more common, and second study finds more tissue growth problems
AMSTERDAM, January 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Children conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) are more likely to be afflicated with a rare form of eye cancer, according to new Dutch research from VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam, published in The Lancet. The study found that incidence of retinoblastoma, which normally occurs in one child in 17,000, is between five and seven times higher among IVF children.
It is the third study in recent weeks showing increased likelihood of abnormalities resulting from IVF. Last week, LifeSite reported on a British study linking IVF to Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS), in which some organ tissues grow abnormally. Now, results from the United States reveal a six-times higher incidence of BWS among IVF babies than the general population.
