“…However, as can be seen from the results of the institutional survey, setting up an outpatient unit specializing in FP treatment was not always common. Although it was difficult to determine the definition and requirements of an outpatient unit specializing in FP in this study, FP treatment needs comprehensive, multidisciplinary support for patients 12–15 . This is because, unlike the outpatient units of general infertility departments, FP treats children and adolescent boys and girls, and needs access to psychological supports because FP requires quick decision‐making within a short and limited period, and is medically high risk (especially for child patients) 16,17 .…”

Aim: The actual status of fertility preservation treatments in the startup phase in Japan was investigated as a basis for discussing future directions. Methods: This study was conducted as "Research project to promote support of children and parenting 2016" which was supported by Ministry of Health in Japan with the approval of the institutional review board at St. Marianna University. Subjects of the survey were facilities registered with the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology as fertility preservation facilities, and facilities belonging to the Japan Association of Private Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinics and Laboratories. We provided questionnaires to survey both the medical care system and cases for which fertility preservation was implemented between 2006 and 2016. Results: Responses were obtained from 68 facilities (of the 64, 59 [92.2%] responded to the questionnaire and 9 clinics cooperated). Many facilities limited the cryopreservation of oocytes and ovaries to patients 40-41 years old and the use of eggs to patients 44-45 years old. In the patient survey, 812 cases of oocyte cryopreservation and 201 cases of ovarian tissue cryopreservation were performed during study period. Breast cancer was the most indicated disease, with oocyte cryopreservation in the late 30s and ovarian tissue cryopreservation in the early 30s. Very few babies were born from fertility preservation, and no live birth cases of ovarian tissue cryopreservation were identified.

“…Recent research and clinical advances will enable physicians to provide new multidisciplinary strategies to offer more oncofertility options for complex and rare cases with hematological malignancies. For example, our coauthor Salama et al recently published with his group at Cologne University a successful multidisciplinary approach for treatment and for preserving the reproductive potential in a rare case of ALL during pregnancy [264]. In this case report, emergency ovarian tissue extraction via laparoscopy (laparoscopic unilateral oophorectomy) was carried out to preserve the reproductive potential in a 34-year-old nullipara patient diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-cell ALL) during her 17th week of pregnancy.…”

Oncofertility is a new interdisciplinary field at the intersection of oncology and reproductive medicine that expands fertility options for young cancer patients. The most common forms of hematological malignancies that occur in girls and young women and therefore necessitate oncofertility care are acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Aggressive gonadotoxic anticancer regimens including alkylating chemotherapy and total body irradiation are used often in treating girls and young women with hematological malignancies. The risks of gonadotoxicity and subsequent iatrogenic premature ovarian insufficiency and fertility loss depend mainly on the type and stage of the disease, dose of anticancer therapy as well as the age of the patient at the beginning of treatment. To avoid or at least mitigate the devastating complications of anticancer therapy-induced gonadotoxicity, effective and comprehensive strategies that integrate different options for preserving and restoring fertility ranging from established to experimental strategies should be offered before, during, and after chemotherapy or radiotherapy. A multidisciplinary approach that involves strong coordination and collaboration between hemato-oncologists, gynecologists, reproductive biologists, research scientists, and patient navigators is essential to guarantee high standard of care.
