The advent of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has improved survival in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies. Not surprisingly, there is now a growing interest on the possible means to preserve fertility to ensure future childbearing. In this study, we report on five women with peritoneal surface malignancies who performed ovarian hyper-stimulation and oocytes cryostorage prior to undergo CRS and HIPEC. The presence of the disease complicated follicular growth monitoring but the oocytes retrievals could be always performed and were uneventful. At last follow-up, all women were alive and disease-free. None has yet returned to thaw her oocytes. Overall, these cases suggest that oocytes cryopreservation before CRS and HIPEC should be considered.

Abstract
The advent of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has improved survival in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies. Not surprisingly, there is now a growing interest on the possible means to preserve fertility to ensure future childbearing. In this study, we report on five women with peritoneal surface malignancies who performed ovarian hyper-stimulation and oocytes cryostorage prior to undergo CRS and HIPEC. The presence of the disease complicated follicular growth monitoring but the oocytes retrievals could be always performed and were uneventful. At last follow-up, all women were alive and disease-free. None has yet returned to thaw her oocytes. Overall, these cases suggest that oocytes cryopreservation before CRS and HIPEC should be considered.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
