Ongoing Review of Clinical Outcomes Following Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation for Fertility Preservation
Although cancer remains a critical health concern, significant medical advances in cancer detection and treatment have improved survival rates for patients. In children receiving total body radiation (TBI), bone-marrow transplant (BMT), or cyclophosphamide equivalent dose (CED) of>4,000mg/m2, the risk of infertility is significant. The National Physicians Cooperative (NPC) has published site-specific articles compiling data regarding use of cryopreserved tissue, return of endocrine function, and pregnancy outcomes, however no comprehensive review has been conducted.
