Fertility Preservation in Cervical and Breast Cancer Patients of Varying Genetic Landscapes: Psycho-Sexual Health Impact

Infertility has emerged as a major public health problem worldwide, including the Western world and Asian Pacific region including India. Biomedical researchers are currently endeavoring to strategically address fertility preservation in cancer patients exposed to chemo-/radio-therapy regimens, and develop cost-effective fertility-sparing/preserving patient-centric risk- assessment protocols for enhancing the overall quality of life and survivorship; there may be increased susceptibility to HPV-mediated cervical, breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers with increasing usage of ovulation induction- and/or ovarian stimulation-related fertility medications for in-vitro fertilization in the treatment of female infertility.
