It is possible therefore to preserve fertility potential of cancer patients before embarking on adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Objectives: The aim was to evaluate whether women who have early follicular follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels > 12 mIU/ml have reduced response to follicular stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in a following month, in spite of normal FSH levels.
Material And Methods: In a 3-year period from January 1996 to December 1998, 303 women aged 38 years and above and/or who had previously responded poorly to superovulation for IVF gave blood samples for FSH, luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) on day 2 of menstruation before commencing treatment.
Results: In 117 (38.
Objective: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of two recombinant human FSH (r-hFSH) preparations, follitropin-alpha (Gonal-F; Ares Serono, Geneva, Switzerland) and follitropin-beta (Puregon; Organon, Oss, the Netherlands), for superovulation in patients undergoing IVF-ET.
Design: Randomized, parallel-group, assessor-blind, single-center trial.
Setting: Outpatient tertiary referral center for assisted reproductive techniques.
Objective: To evaluate the place of cervical dilatation performed at the initial visit in an IVF-ET cycle in patients with known cervical stenosis.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: A tertiary care assisted conception unit.
