Abstract
In addition to cancers, many non-oncological conditions, including chromosomal abnormalities and autoimmune disorders, are currently treated with gonadotoxic agents that can lead to premature ovarian failure. Because of the young age of some of the women affected by these conditions, attempts to preserve fertility and ovarian function are recommended. To date, retrieval of immature oocytes followed by in-vitro maturation and vitrification has been found to be especially useful for women who cannot undergo ovarian stimulation, or when there is a contraindication.
