Programme de préservation de la fertilité féminine au CHRU de Montpellier 2ans après

International audienceOBJECTIVE:Female fertility preservation in the context of cancer management is crucial for patient's health care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncofertility practice at our university hospital of Montpellier since 2011.PATIENTS AND METHODS:The evaluation of management of young patients referred to Montpellier University Hospital from September 2011 to September 2013 for oncofertility counselling before cancer treatment.RESULTS:Seventy-one patients were referred to a specialized oncofertility center. Forty-two patients (59.1%) were included in the oncofertility program. Twenty-two patients (31%) were proposed for oocyte vitrification after COS protocol, eight patients (11.3%) for ovarian tissue cryoconservation, seven patients (9.9%) for GnRH injections, three patients (4.2%) ovarian transposition and two patients (2.8%) for embryo cryopreservation. Among the 42 indications of fertility preservation, only 18 will have finally taken place.CONCLUSION:Oncofertility counselling for young patients should now be part of the cancer management. It involves multidisciplinary teams. Further information of both oncologists and patients is needed to improve this new approach in the field of cancer treatments
