Abstract
Ovarian dysfunction is an important consequence of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Premature ovarian failure and infertility can severely impact the quality of life for the increasing number of female long-term survivors of HCT. Here, we review the impact of HCT on ovarian function, post-transplant fertility and birth outcomes, and the contemporaneous strategies to preserve fertility for these patients.
