Current Approaches to Fertility Preservation.

The 5 principal reasons a patient may consider fertility preservation are: treatment for cancer that may affect fertility, treatment for nonmalignant medical conditions that may affect fertility, planned indications, planned gender-affirming hormone therapy or surgery, or in the setting of genetic conditions that may increase the risks of premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause. This paper will focus on describing who may consider preserving their fertility, how to provide the best clinical evaluation of those seeking fertility preservation, and current and future fertility preservation techniques. Last, we will highlight a need to continue to expand access to fertility preservation technologies.
