Ovarian tissue and oocyte cryopreservation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 cryopreservation. These technologies are investigational, although rapidly evolving, and their list of appropriate indications may be expanded in the future.

In women, around 10% of cancers occur in those younger than 45 years old. Although aggressive chemotherapy/radiotherapy and bone marrow transplantation can cure more than 90% of girls and young women affected by disorders requiring such treatment, the ovaries are very sensitive to cytotoxic drugs, especially to alkylating agents. Therefore, these treatments can result in premature ovarian failu...

Cryopreservation of embryos and gametes has become an indispensible service for infertility treatment. Vitrification is now a prevalent technique for cryopreservation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) replacing, in many cases, conventional slow cooling methodology. Fertility preservation in female patients has become a very topical issue. Various malignant and nonmalignant diseases have...

Background: Oocyte, embryo and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are proposed for fertility preservation to cancer patients who hope to be mothers after getting rid of the disease. Materials and Methods: Embryo cryopreservation is not possible for unmarried single girls without sperm partner and oocyte retrieval is a long time procedure. Thus ovarian tissue cryopreservation is suggested for ferti...

Background Although ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation is used for fertility preservation in patient undergoing cytotoxic treatments but obtaining good quality oocyte is still a debate. Xenotransplantation has been introduced as a reliable technique for better understanding of the transplantation conditions, but to achieve healthy embryos, the quality of obtained oocytes need t...
متن کاملIn vitro maturation of human immature oocytes for fertility preservation.
Cryopreservation of embryos, oocytes, or ovarian tissues is the main option for female fertility preservation. Oocyte cryopreservation has emerged as especially important: the dramatic increase in the number of infants born from vitrified oocytes indicates that it is becoming one of the most important intervention options. However, oocyte cryopreservation with standard controlled ovarian hypers...

Ovariectomy and ovarian tissue cryopreservation has the potential to preserve the natural fertility of cancer patients prior to sterilizing chemo- and radiotherapies. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation with the conventional slow-freezing method has yielded limited success, partly because of oocyte loss during freeze-thaw and subsequent transplant. Based on the high-efficiency vitrification Cryotop...
