Abstract

Update of the recommendations of the Fertility Preservation Working Group in Oncological, Hematological and Other Patients Treated with Gonadotoxic Therapies "ONCOFERTILITY" (GROF) of the Polish Society of Oncological Gynecology regarding cryopreservation and autologous ovarian tissue transplantation. The Fertility Preservation Working Group in Oncological, Hematological and Other Patients Treated with Gonadotoxic Therapies "ONCOFERTILITY" (GROF) of the Polish Society of Oncological Gynecology has developed current clinical guidelines and recommendations to improve the quality of healthcare provision in the area of reproductive health in patients undergoing therapy that may impair their reproductive potential. The guidelines are based on current scientific evidence available at the time of writing this document. In the absence of scientific evidence on some aspects, a consensus was reached among GROF stakeholders. The purpose of the guidelines is to assist healthcare professionals in making decisions in specific clinical situations regarding the selection of an appropriate and effective diagnostic and therapeutic process. The document provides practical guidelines for the management of cryopreservation and autologous ovarian tissue transplantation.
