Are there risks associated with using ICSI for cancer patients?
While ICSI is generally considered safe, it is not without risks. Potential risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women, which can occur due to hormone treatment during egg retrieval. For cancer patients, there is also the concern that hormone treatments used in IVF and ICSI could potentially stimulate cancer cells. However, modified protocols and medications can be tailored to minimize these risks.
