• Human Ovarian Reserve from Conception to the Menopause (2009, methodology): “Using a model based on less complete histological data, we estimated the radiosensitivity of the human oocyte [26] and were subsequently able to estimate the effective sterilising dose of radiotherapy at a given age for the individual woman [27].”
• American Society of Clinical Oncology recommendations on fertility preservation in cancer patients. (2006, background): “Total-body irradiation as used in myeloablative stem-cell transplantation is highly associated with infertility, while lesser doses or limited radiation fields have less gonadal toxicity.(13,14) Several agents are associated with a low or no risk of infertility: methotrexate, fluorouracil, vincristi”
