Excerpt

Nearly a decade has passed since the dawning of the movement of fertility preservation. At its inception, this nascent subdiscipline of human ARTs sought to address the needs of a particular class of patients whose future fertility stood to be compromised as a result of gonadotoxic treatments for various types of cancers. With survival rates for cancer patients on the rise, the impetus for preserving and/or restoring fertility for those yet to have built their families was clear. …
