Resumen

Los cambios sociológicos de las últimas décadas han llevado a que el inicio de la maternidad se retrase de forma considerable. Por otra parte, el diagnóstico temprano de algunos cánceres como el de mama o el de cérvix y el progreso en los tratamientos oncológicos han conseguido tasas de curación muy favorables. Todo ello lleva a que la mujer, que sobrevive cada vez más a esta enfermedad, desee completar su deseo genésico que se va a ver mermado muchas veces por los tratamientos recibidos. Tener hijos es parte importante de la vida de muchas personas, y los médicos (oncólogos, cirujanos, ginecólogos, etc.) deben informar adecuadamente al paciente sobre los riesgos que su proceso conlleva sobre la fertilidad y conocer y ofrecer las diferentes opciones de preservarla. Durante este artículo nos ceñiremos a hablar de la fertilidad en la mujer, cómo se afecta, y cómo protegerla.
