چکیده

BACKGROUND Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and radical surgery, can induce premature menopause and infertility in hundreds of thousands of women of reproductive age every year. One of the ways to possibly preserve fertility before these treatments is to cryopreserve ovarian tissue for later transplantation. We aimed to restore fertility by cryopreservation and transplantation of ovarian tissue. METHODS Ovarian tissue was cryopreserved from a 30-year-old woman with breast cancer before chemotherapy-induced menopause, and this tissue was transplanted beneath the skin of her abdomen 6 years later. FINDINGS Ovarian function returned in the patient 3 months after transplantation, as shown by follicle development and oestrogen production. The patient underwent eight oocyte retrievals percutaneously and 20 oocytes were retrieved. Of the eight oocytes suitable for in-vitro fertilisation, one fertilised normally and developed into a four-cell embryo. INTERPRETATION Fertility and ovarian endocrine function can be preserved in women by long-term ovarian tissue banking.

Development of sex cord stromal tumors after heterotopic transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue in rats.

Chemoradiotherapy has substantially improved life expectancy in young women with cancer, but these treatments often cause infertility. One method of preserving fertility is to cryopreserve ovarian tissue, with subsequent autotransplantation of the tissue after successful anticancer therapy. This study examined the long-term effect of heterotopic transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue o...

Ovarian function and spontaneous pregnancy after combined heterotopic and orthotopic cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation in a patient previously treated with bone marrow transplantation: case report.

Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue has been proposed for storing gametes of young patients at high risk of premature ovarian failure. Autotransplantation has recently provided some promising results and is still the unique option to restore ovarian function from cryopreserved ovarian tissue in humans. In this article, we analyse data from the combined orthotopic and heterotopic transplantation ...

P-78: Role of Allopurinol, as An Antioxidant Factor, in Increasing The Number of Received Oocytes and Embryos, and Reduce Apoptosis after Heterotopic Transplantation Mouse Ovarian Tissue

Background: Ischemia and reperfusion after transplantation is the main problem which decreases follicular density in the grafted ovarian. Many sources of free radicals such as xanthine oxidase were generated during ischemia. In this study, we used allopurinol as xanthine oxidase inhibitor to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, to increase received oocytes and embryos, and to decrease Apoptosis ...

Orthotopic and heterotopic ovarian tissue transplantation

BACKGROUND Transplantation of ovarian tissue is, at present, the only clinical option available to restore fertility using cryopreserved ovarian tissue. More than 30 transplantations of cryopreserved tissue have been reported, and six babies have been born, worldwide, following this procedure. Despite these encouraging results, it is essential to optimize the procedure by improving the follicul...
