The small percentage of cryopreserved embryos that do escape the liquid nitrogen tanks, according to a new study out of Denmark, will experience a higher rate of childhood cancer than children who were conceived without ART.

Denmark has one of the highest rates of ART in the world — approximately 10 to 12 percent of the Danish babies born are the product of fertility help like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a process that involves isolating and injecting a single live sperm cell into a mature egg with hopes of fertilization.
