Article Synopsis
- The study compared assisted reproductive technology (ART) registries in Latin America and Europe, focusing on data quality, treatment access, effectiveness, safety, and service quality.
- Reporting of ART cycles is much more consistent in Europe due to mandatory participation, whereas Latin America relies on voluntary reporting, leading to less representativeness despite better cumulative live birth rates.
- Although Latin America shows higher clinical results and uniform reporting, safety concerns arise as they report higher complication rates compared to Europe, which has lower complication rates and generally safer treatment outcomes.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate if female patients with lymphoma demonstrate diminished ovarian reserve prior to initiation of the lymphoma treatment.
Methods: Sixty-four patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for fertility preservation were compared with 365 healthy controls undergoing elective oocyte cryopreservation (controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)) and 128 patients with other types of malignancy prompting fertility preservation. The data of all lymphoma patients, all elective, and all the patients with other types of malignancy who met the inclusion criteria and underwent COH for fertility preservation during the study period were retrospectively analyzed.
