Abstract:
The incidence of cancer increases with age and as family planning is being delayed, there is a growing number of cancer patients whose fertility may be affected by oncological treatments. International guidelines recommend that all reproductive age cancer patients, including adolescent patients, should be referred for fertility preservation consultation, and if necessary, fertility preservation procedures should be performed. Fertility preservation enables cancer survivors to offer a chance for biological parenthood after recovery. In this review, the gonadotoxic effects of oncological therapies and the fertility preservation possibilities for female cancer patients based on international recommendations and literature are discussed. Our next review will provide detailed information on the special fertility preservation possibilities for different cancer types. The two reviews may help to elaborate a national guidance.
