Abstract
Fecundity has been extended to the menopause by advances in assisted reproductive techniques. The incidence of ovarian cancer increases with age, and an increased risk of ovarian cancer has been associated with incessant ovulation and infertility. The increased risk of ovarian cancer in older infertility patients must be kept in mind when evaluating these patients so that this diagnosis is not overlooked or delayed.
