Abstract: Fertility protection, as a new and rapidly developing interdisciplinary field in recent years, has made great progress and applied fertility preservative technology(FPT)which plays important roles in preserving fertility and solving infertility problems. FPT such as in vitro cryopreservation of the eggs or ovarian tissues from young tumor patients can protect patients' fertility from disease-related damages or environmental-impacted infertility. Surgical measures with primary purpose to keep fertility can solve problems resulting in infertility and repair or reconstruct the structure and function of the reproductive organs. Assisted reproductive treatment as a complement measure can rate up the success of assisted reproduction. In this article, we will highlight the significant developments of fertility preservation, identify the challenges to be faced and put forward recommendations for the development of fertility preservative technology in China.

Key words: Oncofertility, Cancer therapies, Fertility preservation, Quality of life, Healthcare management
