Abstract:
Oocyte vitrification is a preservation fertility strategy, which can be performed in women after puberty to preserve gametes before beginning a gonadotoxic anticancer treatment. Based on available literature and our personal data, we aim to provide an overview about the feasibility, the clinical and logistic difficulties of oocyte vitrification in the field of oncofertility: limit age for oocyte cryopreservation, time required and protocols for ovarian controlled stimulation, ovarian response to stimulation, for what hopes of pregnancy?
