First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study offers young female cancer patients the chance to freeze a piece of their ovary before starting cancer treatment. After they recover, if their ovaries stop working, doctors can thaw and re-implant the tissue to try to restore fertility. The goal is to help these women have children later in life. The study will track surgical safety and pregnancy rates in 100 participants.

Ovarian tissue freezing and re-implantation

What this could lead to

If successful, this procedure could help young female cancer survivors restore their fertility and have biological children after cancer treatment.
