Abstract

Oocyte cryopreservation is the mainstay of fertility preservation in patients with malignancy; however, live birth rates after oocyte cryopreservation are lower in cancer patients than in healthy patients. Multiple modalities of fertility preservation can be combined to optimize success rates. We demonstrate a case of a 24-year-old female who was diagnosed with cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma and was advised to undergo treatment with cisplatin and radiation therapy. She strongly desired fertility preservation and opted to proceed with oocyte cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, and ovarian transposition. Ovarian transposition is a surgical approach to fertility preservation that preserves both fertility and gonadal function. Different modes of fertility preservation may be combined to optimize live birth rates in patients with malignancy.
