Cancer is a life threatening group of disease which involves the abnormal growth of cell that can spread to other parts of the body. Cancer treatment often leads to infertility. Thus, fertility preservation has become very important in cancer survivors to improve their quality of life. Fertility preservation refers to the preservation of the ability of an individual or couple to reproduce after any surgical treatment or pathophysiology.
Fertility Preservation for Female Cancer Patients Some of the fertility preservation options in female cancer patients are listed below:
Embryo Cryopreservation: embryo cryopreservation is an established procedure that provides a good success rate depending on the quality and quantity of embryos stored. In this process, the embryos are preserved at subzero temperatures. The patient is required to go through IVF and a sperm sample is required to fertilize the oocyte.
Mature Oocyte Cryopreservation: when the woman is unmarried or does not have a partner, they can choose the option of oocyte cryopreservation. In this process, the mature oocyte is preserved at sub zero temperatures and the patient has to go through ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval. Due to improved freezing and thawing process, pregnancy rates using oocyte cryopreservation have improved considerably.
