A review of fertility preservation interventions for women cancer survivors found nine interventions aligning variably with ASCO guidelines and a multilevel framework. Most interventions referred patients to reproductive specialists, with limited focus on psychosocial services. Only five interventions considered stakeholder perspectives, and few discussed sustainability. The review highlights gaps in fertility preservation practices, suggesting updates to clinical guidelines and multilevel framework integration for improvement.
