Freezing hope: preserving fertility for women facing cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT01558544

Summary

This study freezes ovarian tissue from women and girls (ages 0-45) who are at high risk of losing their fertility due to medical treatments like chemotherapy or surgery. The goal is to preserve the tissue so that in the future, the immature eggs might be matured in a lab or the tissue could be transplanted back to help the person have a genetically related child. Researchers are also working to improve the techniques for thawing and using this frozen tissue.
