- Abstract
Oncofertility is a new branch of medicine, developed from the most frequent long-term side effect of cancer therapy on young women - infertility. Young survivors who have not completed their family yet have now a chance given by oncofertility procedures. The main strategies used in preserving fertility in oncology patients are: ovarian stimulation followed by cryopreservation of oocytes, transposition of the ovaries before radiotherapy, cryopreservation and transplantation of ovarian tissue, and the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, each technique being individualized for each patient.
