Abstract

The 7th International Congress of the ISFP was held in Brussels in November 2022. Hundreds of attendees from all over the world had the rare opportunity to hear the most distinguished leaders discuss and debate the latest advances in the field. Participants were also able to attend workshops under the guidance of skilled practitioners. Numerous topics were considered, including a recap on fertility preservation approaches in cancer and benign pathologies and a section on male factor infertility. Other aspects covered were in vitro maturation and poor responders, the impact of chemotherapy on the ovary, and future perspectives. Participants had the chance to listen to a symposium on fertility preservation techniques, and finally, a keynote lecture on fertility preservation in gynecological cancers brought this prominent and highly influential event to a close.
