star this property answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) Register is not linked to any National Health Service databases or cancer registries; and data from the Register alone would not allow an assessment of the risk to be identified. However, under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act (Disclosure of Information for Research Purposes) Regulations 2010, the HFEA may authorise the processing of disclosable protected information contained in the Register for research, in the public interest or in the interests of improving patient care. A recent study by University College London investigated risks of ovarian, breast, and corpus uteri cancer in women treated with Assisted Reproductive Technologies and found no link between the use of ovarian stimulatory drugs and an increased risk of cancer.</p><p>The HFEA continually updates patient information whenever new clinical information is available. The HFEA is advised by the Scientific and Clinical Advances Advisory Committee on scientific and clinical developments (including research) in assisted conception, embryo research and related areas.</p>
