Cover Story: Advances in reproductive medicine and cryobiology have culminated in an increased interest in fertility preservation (FP) methods. In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) is a possible fertility preservation strategy for women in need of urgent oncological treatment. IVM consists of the retrieval of immature oocytes from small antral follicles, with no or minimal ovarian stimulation via gonadotropins, and is, therefore, a pertinent option for fertility preservation, notably when ovarian stimulation is unfeasible or contra-indicated. The mature oocytes are then vitrified until the patients return after complete remission. Live birth supports the fact that IVM might be a relevant and safe FP option for cancer patients when oocyte preservation is required, but ovarian stimulation is contra-indicated. View this paper
