The improvement in survival of young cancer patients in recent years has led to an increasing interest for treatment aimed at increasing the quality of life during and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thus new reports on the progress in fertility preservation techniques have led to the establishment of the German-speaking network FertiPROTEKT (http://www.fertiprotekt.eu) in 2006. Decisions on the type of fertility preservation technique offered to the patient need to be made after careful discussion by reproductive specialists and oncologists according to the cancer disease, the prognosis, the age of the patient and the available time frame until the onset of cytotoxic therapy. The different techniques, such as ovarian stimulation followed by cryopreservation of fertilized or unfertilized oocytes, cryopreservation of ovarian tissue and the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists are critically analyzed in this paper.
