The aim of this study was to screen the protein profile of conditioned embryo culture media in patients presenting deep infiltrating endometriosis (ENDO) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) undergoing IVF, by proteomics approaches. The control group was constituted by tubal factor patients.

- The study aimed to evaluate awareness of infertility risks and fertility preservation options among cancer patients after treatment, using a survey conducted during the 2013 Pink October campaign in São Paulo, Brazil.
- Approximately 900 individuals showed interest in cancer prevention and fertility, but only 242 completed a questionnaire, revealing that a significant majority, especially those with lower education levels, lacked knowledge about how cancer treatment could impact fertility.
- The findings highlight the need for increased educational efforts to inform both cancer patients and the general public about the risks of infertility and available options for preserving fertility.
