Abstract

The cytotoxic action of antineoplastic treatments very frequently implies serious damage to the gonads, and consequences due to the hypoestrogenism, such as osteoporosis, infertility and premature ovarian failure, are expected. Oncofertility appears as a new multidisciplinary area, which is dedicated to the development of strategies for the reduction of therapeutic sequels in cancer survivals, ultimately aiming the maintenance of their quality of life and the possibility of biological procreation. This article aims to present an overview of possible options for female fertility preservation after cancer and future perspectives in oncofertility.
