Within this small descriptive study, the incidence of thromboembolic events in women with cancer undergoing COH for fertility preservation is high. Cancer may play a greater role than COH in thrombosis risk. Ovarian cancer patients who undergo ovarian stimulation may have an increased risk compared to other cancer types. These findings may inform future, prospective studies to determine the role of thromboprophylaxis.
