The last three decades have seen a significant improvement and advancement in both the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities with improved surgical technique, chemoradio and supportive therapy in cancer treatment. This has produced a correspondingly increase in the 5-year relative survival rate for many cancers and for all races. However, the chemo-radiotherapy which is often gonadotoxic, has a substantial impact on quality of life issues especially that of reproduction in young female patients on account of increasing survival rates and delayed childbearing in the western hemisphere. This case based discussion paper using two real life case scenarios from our department focuses on the negative impact of cancer treatments on fertility and various options available for fertility preservation and / or fertility preservation measures. It is concluded that a lot of variables have to be considered when deciding upon fertility preservation treatments including patient＇s age, cancer stage, proposed treatment regime and time before it is initiated, availability of partner sperm and issues of individual patients. The latter include surgical complications, ovarian hyperstimu-lation syndrome, delay in cancer treatment and reintroduction of cancer cells, cost, low success rates and experimental nature of these treatments and the disposition of gametes in the event that the patient does not survive her cancer. It is very important for physician to advise patients of all these factors so that they can make an informed decision regarding the fertility preservation options and each case is unique and requires a different strategy of fertility preservation.

Objective To develop local termination of pregnancy （TOP） dataset and to identify ＂hotspots＂ for highest activity and gaps in our fertility control services. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 305 women who received TOP under section C of the Abortion Act 1967 over a period of 9 consecutive months from 1st March through to 31st October 2012. Results There were 275 （90.2%） British White （BW） and 30 non-BW women. Among 30 non-BW women, 10 （3.3%） were British Asian, 8 （2.6%） were Polish, 6 （2.0%） were British Black or Black, 5 （1.6%） were Chinese and i （0.3%） was White Latvian. The TOP rate was 8.9% in the under 18 years old and 27.9% in the over 30 years old. Totally 240 TOPs （78. 7%） occurred in 〈10 weeks and 276 TOPs （90.5%） occurred under 13 weeks of gestation. Eight-five women who received TOP-service have had one or more previous termination（s） in the last 3 years. The contraception use was low pre-TOP and none of the women were on long-acting reversible contraception （LARCs） pre- TOP, including those who had repeat terminations. Conclusion There are inequalities and gaps in the TOP and related services in Grimsby which must be addressed to reduce the rate of TOP. This is a major challenge involving multiple agencies. Provision of contraception across all age and ethnic groups, improving sex education, engaging with parents and women to improve their negotiation skills for safer sex, supporting vulnerable women, reducing risk factors e.g. alcohol and substance misuse and raising aspirations across the region will contribute to a reduction in termination rate.
