Psychological impact of fertility preservation techniques in women with gynaecological cancer

Antonio Simone Laganà et al. Ecancermedicalscience. .

Abstract

Gynaecological cancer is a very stressful experience for women and treatments can compromise fertility and reproductive capacity. Fertility preservation techniques in women with gynaecological cancer can play an important role in improving the quality of life of these patients but, in many cases, the information about this type of treatment is not adequate. It is important to further investigate this topic in order to reduce the impact of gynaecological cancer on the quality of life of survivors as much as possible.

Keywords: female; fertility preservation; quality of life; reproduction.
