Previous cancers in women diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency: A nationwide population ‐based case–control study

ConclusionsThis study reveals that 21.9% of women with POI have a history of cancer, making the prevalence of cancer among these women 27.5 times higher than age-matched controls in the Finnish population. The risk of developing POI is most substantial in the first 2  years following a cancer diagnosis. These findings underscore the role of cancer treatments as an etiological factor for POI and emphasize the importance of recognizing the risk of POI in cancer survivors for early diagnosis and intervention.
