About this Research Topic
Oncofertility is an evolving field of Reproductive Health in which cryopreservation technique is mainly used before the onset of oncological treatment, aiming at achieving pregnancy in a future moment at the end of the cancer treatment, thus allowing clinicians to work in a holistic way in the care of patients.
Several treatments modalities can be used for this purpose, from established treatments, such as embryo, oocyte, sperm, or ovarian tissue cryopreservation, to treatments still considered experimental, such as artificial ovary, stem cells, in vitro follicular culture, cryopreservation of prepubertal testicular tissue, and medical protection during chemotherapy.
As technology advances, new avenues open for research and development, always looking for improvements and safety in the quality of treatment offered.
Our topic aims to bring together work within the field of oncofertility for wide scientific dissemination, thus allowing specialists who are involved in the treatment of these patients to share knowledge, thoughts, and technology.
All work published in the field of oncofertility will be considered for publication. Clinical and/or laboratory work may be submitted. Case reports, original papers, mini-reviews, systematic reviews, and opinion pieces may also be submitted and considered for publication.
