Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must be 14-42 year old females with a cancer diagnosis.
  • Clearance letter from treating oncologist.
  • Approval by program oncologist or her designee.
  • Informed consent has to be signed after consultation with the program physician. Minors require consent of a parent or a legal guardian and assent from the participant.
  • Life expectancy (predicted by their malignancy) of 5 or more years.
  • Cancer diagnosis should have an expected cure rate of 50% or more, based upon clinico-pathologic features.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients whose oncologist and the program oncologist concur that immediate oncologic care should be rendered, not allowing sufficient time for a course of gonadotropin therapy and egg retrieval.
  • FSH level >20 MIU/ml, indicating abnormal ovarian function.
  • Patients with stage IV cancers (*age appropriate women with stage IV advanced Hodgkin's Lymphoma will be considered, as there is a significant long term survival rate with this advanced disease).
  • Patients with incurable cancer diagnoses.
  • Patients who are unable or unwilling to sign the informed consent.
  • Women cannot have an embryo transfer beyond age 50.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

successful pregnancy

Time Frame: nine months after transfer of embryo(s)

the primary objective of this study is the establishment of a successful pregnancy, following a disease-free interval after treatment for her cancer; this interval will be patient-dependent and will undoubtedly vary between participants.

Secondary Outcomes

  • impact of stimulation on cancer recurrence(5 years after treatment)
