The use of GnRH analogs in preserving ovarian function during chemotherapy

Abstract Background The literature has always been controversial on the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in preserving fertility in women of childbearing age after chemotherapy; thereby, in this article, we will be discussing its use in preserving fertility. Main body of abstract When...
