The sociological changes occurring in recent decades have led to women having their first child much later than in the past. On the other hand, the early diagnosis of some tumors, such as breast or cervix, and the advances made in oncological treatments have achieved very favorable cure rates. All these aspects lead to the fact that women, whose chances of surviving this disease are improving all the time, wish to fulfill their wish to have children, which is going to be frequently lessened due to the treatments received. Having children is an important part of life for many people, and clinicians (oncologists, surgeons, gynecologists, etc.) must inform the patient properly about the risks that the process entails regarding fertility, as well as explaining the different options to preserve it. In this article, we will discuss fertility in women only, how it is affected, and how to protect it. Los cambios sociológicos de las últimas décadas han llevado a que el inicio de la maternidad se retrase de forma considerable. Por otra parte, el diagnóstico temprano de algunos cánceres como el de mama o el de cérvix y el progreso en los tratamientos oncológicos han conseguido tasas de curación muy favorables. Todo ello lleva a que la mujer, que sobrevive cada vez más a esta enfermedad, desee completar su deseo genésico que se va a ver mermado muchas veces por los tratamientos recibidos. Tener hijos es parte importante de la vida de muchas personas, y los médicos (oncólogos, cirujanos, ginecólogos, etc.) deben informar adecuadamente al paciente sobre los riesgos que su proceso conlleva sobre la fertilidad y conocer y ofrecer las diferentes opciones de preservarla. Durante este artículo nos ceñiremos a hablar de la fertilidad en la mujer, cómo se afecta, y cómo protegerla
