Core Tip	Despite significant advances in the technical delivery of radical pelvic radiotherapy there remains no way to avoid delivering substantial radiation doses to the ovaries and uterus for patients undergoing treatment for gynaecological cancers. Due to improved cure rates from radical chemo-radiotherapy many women treated for cervical cancer will wish to attempt to preserve their fertility. This article reviews emerging techniques for preserving ovarian function and ovarian tissue, as well as the impact on the uterus and the risk for pregnancy-related complications. Future developments may offer women in this difficult situation more and improved options for fertility
