The paper reviews the technologies ensuring the probability of childbirth among women with cancers after gonadotoxic antitumor therapy. It considers the advantages and disadvantages of methods for preserving the genetic material by cryopreservation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian tissue fragments. The authors analyze the reasons keeping the achievements of oncofertility as an interdisciplinary field of medicine from being more widely practically used by women.
