Trends and outcomes of fertility preservation in patients presenting with cancer during pregnancy or postpartum—a longitudinal observational cohort study
Our observations underscore the need to ensure good multidisciplinary communication to inform patients presenting with PAC on the future risk for infertility and on the available FP procedures. As FP has to be applied when the patients are not pregnant, these measures can be planned in connection with a cesarean section, or after completion of cancer treatment. Current guidelines for FP lack specific recommendations for women with PAC, and specialized PAC guidelines also lack specific information on FP. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NTC04602962.
