Abstract
Fertility preservation (FP) is an emerging, rapidly evolving branch of reproductive medicine comprising the preservation of gametes (sperm, oocytes), and reproductive tissue (ovarian, testicular), giving individuals at risk of losing their reproductive ability the chance to conceive and have their own genetic offspring. Cancer patients to undergo surgery or start chemotherapy or radiotherapy, other medical conditions leading to premature menopause, and healthy women wishing to postpone childbearing, are the main beneficiaries of this strategy. Options for women to safeguard their fertility include the cryopreservation of ovarian tissue or oocytes.
