| Summary: | In recent years, there has been continuous improvement in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, which has led to a significant improvement in the survival rate of cancer patients. Treatments that include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or combined therapy have several side effects that may lead to premature ovarian insufficiency in females or substantial male germ cell loss. Reproductive biologists recommend that all patients who are diagnosed with a malignant tumor must undergo a consultation for fertility protection and preservation. In this review, we discuss the background knowledge, methods, and options for fertility preservation and how these new strategies help oncologists, surgeons, pediatricians, and hematologists, conserve fertility and be aware of the concepts, methods, and importance of fertility guards. This review may aid in the advancement of novel personalized methods for fertility preservation according to patients’ conditions.
