However, the survival rates for women with cancers have increased significantly during the past decades, reflecting improved diagnosis and treatment. With the increased survival in young women with cancer, more attention is being paid to preservation of fertility, which is potentially jeopardized by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, aiming to limit the devastating sequelae of this serious illness by providing these young women with a hope for motherhood. In vitro fertilization with oocyte or embryo cryopreservation has emerged as an astounding method to preserve fertility. It entails induction of ovulation to produce oocytes, the number and quality of which are imperative factors predicting the potential efficacy of the fertility preservation procedure.
