Preface

The year 2008 marked the 30th anniversary of the clinical success of in vitro fertilization

and embryo transfer, a technology that has revolutionized the treatment of infertility. This

landmark event came about through the marriage of reproductive biology, endocrinology, and

gynecology, in what was at the time a new model of translational science. Today, the field of

reproductive endocrinology continues to be broad-based with contributions from the fields

of developmental and reproductive biology, neuroscience, genetics and genomics, endocrinology,

gynecology, obstetrics, andrology, pediatrics, pathology and laboratory medicine, and

diagnostic imaging, among others. The multiple disciplines and their respective perspectives

have brought forth what can arguably be considered the greatest medical advance in the past

century: the capacity of humans to master the process of reproduction. The 6th edition of Yen

and Jaffe’s Reproductive Endocrinology has been expanded to reflect the position of our field as

the nexus of basic and clinical research, and as a source of innovation that shapes the scientific

foundations of physiology and medicine. The editors thank the chapter authors, both old

and new, for delivering the insightful synthesis of their topics. In many instances, advances

in research and clinical practice have resulted in substantial changes in scope and direction

that necessitated critical appraisal of information offered in the 5th edition.

Since the previous edition of this text, we lost Samuel S. C. Yen, one of the founders of

contemporary reproductive endocrinology and one half of the brilliant team that birthed

this text. As noted in the remembrance, his legacy is profound, and the editors once again

acknowledge his transformative influence on the field.
