Options for preserving fertility in women undergoing gonadotoxic treatment

[摘要] Cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be toxic to the ovaries, but women can improve their chances of preserving their fertility. Three options are available: gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues, oocyte cryopreservation, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation. A fourth option, ovarian transposition, is valid for patients undergoing pelvic radiation but is not useful in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
