Reproductive outcomes following RH-CRT
Among the patients treated with hysterectomy or (chemo)radiotherapy and
thus requiring a gestational carrier, reproductive outcomes were
available for 29/41 patients. 23 of the 29 patients (79.3%) desired to
have children after cancer treatment, and 14 of these 23 (60.1%) were
referred for gestational surrogacy treatments. This resulted in 3
ongoing gestational surrogacy pregnancies (21.4%), while 7 patients
(50.0%) are still searching for a suitable gestational carrier and 2
patients (14.3%) discontinued gestational surrogacy treatments. One of
these patients adopted a child. Two pregnancies were established using
frozen-thawed oocytes and one pregnancy was established through
orthotropic auto-transplantation of ovarian tissue and ovarian
stimulation. There were no obstetric or neonatal complications and all
gestational carriers delivered at term.
