Abstract

Fertility preservation strategies have been developed for men and women whose fertility is compromised for medical reasons, especially in case of cancer therapy. At present, many reliable options for preserving fertility are available. However, a part of these fertility preservation methods, despite being promising, are still considered experimental. Nevertheless, there are still situations where no methods can be offered. Remarkable scientific progress is currently underway to improve available techniques and to develop new technologies to solve problems with current fertility strategies. These new options may drastically change reproductive options for young patients facing germ cell loss and hence sterility. Therefore, oncofertility counseling by a specialist is recommended for all young cancer patients having to undergo treatment that may reduce fertility potential.
