Abstract:
Advances in antimitotic treatments have improved the prognosis of cancer in young subjects. The resulting increase in life expectancy raises the question of the subject's future fertility, a question that should be posed before beginning any anticancer therapy which could lead to a gonadal failure. If oocyte donation remains the alternative indication proposed for these patients desiring a child, it is important to assess the tissue alterations in the uterus, to verify its vascularization under suitable treatment and appreciate the other alternative directions.
