“…Although the efficacy of cryopreservation of ovarian tissue may thus differ from one center to another, information regarding these differences is scarce. [10,11] This is remarkable given the fact that the use of cryopreservation of ovarian tissue has increased considerably in the past decade [5,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] with tissue from at least 2,500 patients now being stored at a limited number of highly experienced centers [23].…”

“…Advances taking place in reproductive sciences have provided novel opportunities to preserve fertility, especially for women (AbdelHafez, Desai, Abou-Setta, Falcone, & Goldfarb, 2010; Cobo & Diaz, 2011; Lamar & DeCherney, 2009). The merging of these distinct scientific fields, cancer and reproduction, has resulted in fertility preservation options for women with cancer, including egg, embryo, and uterine tissue cryopreservation that were unprecedented in prior generations (Jeruss & Woodruff, 2009; Kolp & Hubayter, 2011; Kong, Skory, & Woodruff, 2011). Indeed, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (Lee et al, 2006) and the Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (2005) have issued statements supporting clinician discussion of fertility preservation among individuals diagnosed with cancer.…”

Objective To provide an in-depth description of the decision-making process that women who are diagnosed with cancer undergo as they decide whether to accept or decline fertility cryopreservation. Design A qualitative, grounded theory approach. Setting and Participants Twenty-seven women (mean age = 29 years) who were diagnosed with cancer and were eligible for egg, embryo, or ovarian tissue cryopreservation were recruited from the Internet and two university centers. Methods Each woman participated in a semi-structured interview by phone (n = 21) or email (n = 6). Data were analyzed using the constant-comparative method to inductively ascertain the women’s decision-making process. NVivo 8 software was used to assist with data retrieval and analysis. Results The decision-making process consists of four major phases that women experience to actively formulate a decision: identify, contemplate, resolve, and engage. In the identify phase, women acquire knowledge and experience a double hit scenario that is often devastating. Within the contemplate phase, five interrelated dimensions emerged including constructing and/or endorsing preferences and values and undergoing decisional debriefing sessions. A decision is reached in the resolve phase and carried out in the engage phase. Among the participants, 14 declined fertility cryopreservation and 13 accepted egg and/or embryo cryopreservation. Conclusion The descriptive theoretical framework clarifies the underlying processes that women with cancer undergo to decide about fertility cryopreservation. Quality of care for women with cancer can be improved by implementing appropriately timed information and tailored developmental and contextual counseling to support decision making.

“…Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is another, very promising, alternative (5). Ovarian tissue can be extracted laparoscopically without significantly delaying gonadotoxic therapy.…”
