Indications for fertility preservation in women from malignant diseases to benign conditions to age-related fertility decline. Minerva Ginecol. 2018 Apr 11;: Authors: Dolmans MM, Donnez J Abstract Oocyte vitrification and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are 2 common fertility preservation options. Oocyte vitrification provides the highest yield for women with benign diseases or those seeking fertility preservation for age-related fertility decline. This technique is also indicated for cancer women if cancer treatment can be post-poned. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation has some specific indications. There is indeed no other alternative for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls, adolescents and cancer women in whom cancer treatment cannot be postponed. This review focuses on the indications for fertility preservation from malignant diseases to benign conditions to age-related fertility decline. PMID: 29644332 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
