Fertility Preservation and Important Tips of Cancer in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA)

Cancer in adolescent and young adults (AYA) includes people who are diagnosed with cancer at the age of 15–39. One of the main concerns and consequences of AYA cancer treatment in both sexes is infertility. Premature ovarian failure (POF) is common in multimodal chemotherapy regimens. There is a significant difference in the sensitivity of the ovary to drugs. In conclusion, in young cancer women, oophoropexy, infertility counseling, and embryo or oocyte cryopreservation should be considered. Medroxyprogesterone, oral contraceptive pill (OCP), or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) should be prescribed in the risk of menorrhagia.
