The potential involvement of growth hormone therapy in tumor promotion and progression has been of concern for several decades. Our aim was to assess systematically the association between growth hormone therapy and all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality, cancer morbidity and risk of second neoplasm mainly in patients treated during childhood and adolescence.
