Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have resulted in a growing population of adolescent and adult long-term survivors of malignancies with infertility problems due to induced premature ovarian failure. Although several options are currently available to preserve fertility in cancer patients, cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is the only option available for prepubertal girls and ...

Background: Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) which influences the ovarian structure and function. We assessed the effects of ND on the ovarian volume, number of primordial follicles, and level of hormones and also evaluated the modulatory effects of gonadotropins on the histopathological changes imposed by the administration of ND. Methods: Six groups of Sprague...

decidualized ovarian endometrioma is a rare phenomenon in pregnancy, which can mimic ovarian malignancy in imaging and often poses a diagnostic challenge. we report a case of a large ruptured decidualized ovarian endometrioma in a 15 weeks gestation patient, and we will describe the imaging characteristics (ultrasonography and mr imaging findings) and the histopathological findings (macro- and ...

Background and Objective: It is well known that menstrual period and ovarian function are affected by chemotherapy. Although breast cancer is the most common cause of chemotherapy in women and ovarian hormones have very important direct and indirect effects on overall survival, disease-free survival, and...

Background: The functional longevity of ovarian transplant at present is one of the most challenging questions regarding ovary transplantation. So, we used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel scaffold with combination of VEGF and bFGF for restoration of cyclical ovarian function after ovarian tissue transplantation in a rat model. Materials and Methods: A total of 25 Wistar female rats weighing betwe...

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...

This study examined the association of CD44V6 expression in ovarian cancer. We recruited 38 patients with ovarian cancer, 23 with benign ovarian tumor, and 20 with normal ovaries using RT-PCR and western block analysis. Compared with normal ovaries, the expression of CD44V6 mRNA was significantly elevated in benign ovarian tumor and ovarian cancer. At the protein level, we found no significant ...
