Abstract
As survival rates and the life expectancy of those with malignancy have increased, more women in their reproductive years are referred for fertility preservation. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can severely affect ovarian function, and the effect is irreversible. Therefore, it is optimal to attempt fertility preservation before chemotherapy and radiotherapy are initiated. Oocyte and embryo cryopreservation is the most common option for fertility preservation in women. Several reports have proven that embryo and oocyte cryopreservation can achieve a successful pregnancy. This review discusses the impact of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on ovarian function, and the importance of oocyte and embryo cryopreservation for fertility preservation. In addition, the current status of pregnancy outcomes and potential for cryopreserved oocytes to result in live births in cancer patients was reviewed. This may provide useful information for decision-making in cancer patients regarding oocyte and embryo cryopreservation and fertility preservation.
