Description
Summary:To solve the problem of preserving reproductive function in cancer patients is very urgent today because antitumor treatment comprising different combinations of radio- and chemotherapy and surgery lead to ovarian reserve depletion and premature menopause in repro- ductive-aged women. The authors propose to consider one of the fertility preservation techniques – ovarian tissue cryopreservation. A procedure for cryopreservation is described in detail; its efficiency is evaluated. In the authors’ opinion, this procedure is one of most promising in preserving the sexual material of cancer patients.
