Indications for cryopreservation of ovarian tissue.
For patients who are planning to have chemotherapy, radiotherapy or to undergo bilateral oophorectomy, loss of ovarian function will result in premature ovarian menopause and loss of fertility. For these women, although there is no successful method for the cryopreservation of human oocytes, ovarian tissue cryobanking is proposed with a view to its autotransplantation at a later date or the iso...
متن کاملI-10: Vitrification of Baboon Ovarian Tissue:Will Vitrification Replace Conventional Freezing for Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation?
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a vitrification protocol developed by our group to cryopreserve ovarian tissue. For this, we used ovaries from non-human primates in order to have an animal model close to the clinical setting. Materials and Methods: Ovarian biopsies from five adult baboons were vitrified, warmed and autografted. After five months, follicle survi...
متن کاملOvarian tissue and oocyte cryopreservation
There are relatively few effective clinical options for preserving female fertility, particularly following aggressive chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment protocols. This document reviews the scientific background, current technology, clinical results and potential future applications of two methods for preserving female fertility—ovarian tissue cryopreservation and oocyte cryopreservati...
متن کاملThe cryopreservation of ovarian tissue: uses and indications in veterinary medicine.
Animal experiments have shown that cryopreservation of the ovarian cortex, containing primordial follicles, could be used to preserve gametes thereby restoring fertility in humans and animals. During the last 100 years, many hundreds of species have been lost, and a third of the breeding animals are threatened with extinction. To preserve genetic diversity, notably for the conservation of endan...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Ovarian Tissue in Pediatric Patients
Cancer treatments improve the survival rate of children and adolescents; however chemo- and radiotherapy result in gonadal damage leading to acute ovarian failure and sterility. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation allows long-term storage of primordial follicles and represents the only possibility of preserving the potential fertility in prepubertal girls. The aim of the present study is to describ...
