| Popis: | Introduction. Progress in the field of cancer treatment has led to increased survival rate of cancer patients. Chemotherapy and surgical treatment may be the consequence of decreased fertility in both genders. Fertility Preservation. Some of the prominent techniques for fertility preservation, cryopreservation of gametes and embryos, are efficient and safe techniques in clinical practice, while cryopreservation of gonadal tissue and cells is considered experimental, and it is not used in everyday practice yet. Conclusion. Timely and complete information about the effects of cancer treatment on fertility, as well as information about the potential techniques for fertility preservation, should be available to all patients. |
