Ovarian stimulation protocols for onco-fertility patients.

PURPOSE: To review options for ovarian stimulation before oocyte collection for fertility preservation for women with cancer or related diseases who require potentially sterilizing chemo- or radiotherapy.

METHODS: Narrative review of current practice.

RESULTS: Vitrification of oocytes and embryos has improved chances of pregnancy for this group of patients in recent years, increasing the uptake of fertility preservation before cancer treatment substantially. Strategies for ovarian stimulation for such patients should optimize oocyte yield whilst avoiding risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.

CONCLUSIONS: Best practice in ovarian stimulation can deliver good numbers of oocytes or embryos for cryopreservation with minimal risk of ovarian hyperstimulation for women under 36 years of age. Results are less encouraging for older patients.
