Fertility Preservation in Women Who Will Have Gonadotoxic Therapy or Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation, and in Women With Sickle Cell Disease Some treatments for cancer or other diseases can lead to infertility in women. These treatments include chemotherapy, some stem cell transplants, and pelvic radiotherapy. They are called gonadotoxic therapies. Women can now have their eggs frozen before they have these treatments. This may allow them to get pregnant later. Researchers want to learn more about this technology and processes.
This study if for women at least 18 years old who are past puberty and before menopause. They must be scheduled to have gonadotoxic therapies.
