Fertility preservation is a growing field in reproductive medicine that may raise ethical questions. Preservation of fertility must be discussed with the patient if gonadotoxic treatment is required, whether in the case of benign or malignant pathology, or in the management of transgender identity. As a result, surgery or chemotherapy that has fewer adverse impacts on fertility should be proposed if this does not alter the prognosis of the disease. If the risk of infertility persists, then fertility cryopreservation should be proposed for children and adults of reproductive age. Sperm, oocytes, and gonadal tissue can be cryopreserved for many years. FIGO wishes to emphasize the importance of fertility preservation in the medical and surgical management of patients, and the importance of a specialized, multidisciplinary approach.

Our objective is to present the laparoscopic management of a mature cystic teratoma originating from the fallopian tube and to discuss different surgical approaches. A 28-year-old nulliparous woman presented with right groin pain, and after the diagnostic evaluation, laparoscopic exploration was performed for diagnosis and treatment. Intraoperative findings revealed a 4-5 cm cyst protruding from the right tubal fimbrial ostium was identified, originating from the tubal cavity without ovarian connection.

Lactation-associated breast cancer poses diagnostic challenges due to physiological breast changes that may mask malignancies. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) during lactation is rare and aggressive, requiring vigilant evaluation and treatment. This report highlights the diagnostic dilemma of recurrent cystic breast lesions during lactation, which can mimic benign conditions like galactoceles but may conceal aggressive TNBC, leading to potential delays in diagnosis despite initial conservative approaches such as aspiration.

Objective: To report the incidence and survival patterns for children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) cancer survivors over the past 20 years.
Methods: CAYA (under 25 years old) cancer survivors from 17 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed. A joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the incidence and 5-year survival rate.

Introduction: After spinal cord injury, most men cannot conceive without medical help. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to provide updated, high-quality recommendations up on fertility preservation (FP) in patients with spinal cord injury to urologists/andrologists, neuro-urologists, laboratory physicians, endocrinologists and other healthcare professionals.
Methods: These guidelines were based on a systematic review of studies published between January 1990 and June 2024 performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses criteria.
Study Question: Can patient age and ovarian reserve tests predict the number of cryopreserved oocytes in patients undergoing one or more ovarian stimulation cycles for elective oocyte cryopreservation (EOC)?
Summary Answer: A predictive model incorporating patient age, antral follicle count (AFC), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and FSH levels achieved the greatest predictive accuracy.
What Is Known Already: As a consequence of societal evolution, women are increasingly delaying starting a family. However, the natural decline in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality as age advances can increase the risk of age-related fertility decline (ARFD) and involuntary childlessness.
