Summary

This study tests whether moving a piece of ovary to the fatty tissue of the inner thigh before pelvic radiation can keep it working. Twenty-two women aged 35 or younger with advanced cervical cancer will take part. The goal is to see if the graft produces hormones normally, potentially avoiding early menopause without needing hormone replacement therapy.
