University of Arizona Health SciencesOct 1 2024 Research ers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences and the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública in Mexico are using a $2.2 million National Institutes of Health grant to explore the link between infertility and long-term health issues among Hispanic women of Mexican heritage.
Researchers hope to determine the risk of breast cancer and gynecological cancers, including endometrial and ovarian cancer, for women with a history of infertility compared with those who have given birth. Farland said existing research on infertility and long-term health outcomes among Hispanic women is sparse. Among the studies that have been conducted, there are key limitations, such as short follow-ups, small sample sizes and a lack of detailed information on infertility histories, diagnoses and treatments.
