Ethical, legal, social, and policy issues of ovarian tissue cryopreservation in prepubertal girls: a critical interpretive review

ConclusionThis first literature review focusing on ethical, legal, social, and policy issues surrounding OTC in prepubertal girls highlights concerns in the oncofertility debate. Although OTC is no longer experimental as of December 2019, these issues could limit its availability and the child ’s future reproductive autonomy. This review concludes that specific actions must be provided to enable the offer of FP, such as supporting families’ decision-making in this unique and complex context, and providing pediatric patients universal and full access to free or highly subsidized OTC.
