Description

Deepika Dewani, Pravin Karwade, and Kalyani Mahajan review womb transplantation for cancer survivors in a 2023 paper. Cancer care can cost survivors their fertility, a loss that lands on top of the disease itself. A donated womb, transplanted, offers a path to carrying a child where none was thought possible.

The review walks through fertility harm from cancer treatment, the rise of the transplant procedure, and the care that follows it. Immune-suppressing drugs must be balanced against pregnancy hopes. Donor choice, risk, and social views get a close ethical read. The authors frame the field as a joint effort of doctors, researchers, ethicists, and psychologists.
