Summary

Fertility preservation, especially in women of reproductive age undergoing gonadotoxic treatment, has become an important part of our practice. This is reflected in the increasing number of publications on the subject. A recent PubMed search yields 518 articles on fertility preservation published in the time period of 1980–2000 and 4,288 others between 2000 and 2017. Today, failure to discuss fertility preservation with young women scheduled to undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy could be considered as malpractice.
