Principles and Practice of Fertility Preservation PDF
Edited by Jacques (Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium) Donnez, S. Samuel (University of Kansas) Kim
Description
The specialty of fertility preservation offers patients with cancer, who are rendered infertile by chemo- and radiotherapy, the opportunity to realize their reproductive potential.
This gold-standard publication defines the specialty.
The full range of techniques and scientific concepts is covered in detail, and the author team includes many of the world's leading experts in the field.
The book opens with introductions to fertility preservation in both cancer and non-cancer patients, followed by cancer biology, epidemiology and treatment, and reproductive biology and cryobiology.
Subsequent sections cover fertility preservation strategies in males and females, including medical/surgical procedures, ART, cryopreservation and transplantation of both ovarian tissue and the whole ovary, and in-vitro follicle growth and maturation.
Concluding chapters address future technologies, as well as ethical, legal and religious issues.
Richly illustrated throughout, this is a key resource for all clinicians specializing in reproductive medicine, gynecology, oncology, hematology, endocrinology and infertility.
