“…These outcomes contrast with the Pereyra Pacheco et al outcomes, possibly because of the small number of patients followed in this last study [31]. The first case report of cryopreserved cortex autograft in a pre-pubertal girl underscores the importance of using this technique in pre-pubertal girls [61]. The patient had previously undergone pre-conditioning therapy for bone marrow transplant for sickle cell disease and, following transplant of three ovarian cortex fragments to the suprapubic subcutaneous tissue, she was able to undergo natural puberty.…”

Purpose To appraise the feasibility of current adult medical and surgical techniques for ovarian preservation in prepubertal and adolescent girls with cancer. Methods Literature search using PubMed and SCOPUS up to February 2012. In addition, the reference lists of selected studies and all identified systematic and narrative reviews were scanned for relevant references. Inclusion criteria were ovarian preservation and cancer. Exclusion criteria were non-English publications, letters, personal communications, and ovarian preservation for conditions other than cancer. Results Data from the selected publications was interpreted and discussed in the relevant sections. Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue followed by autologous transplant represents the only surgical option available for pre-pubertal girls and adolescents who cannot delay the start of chemotherapy. Few studies report on pre-pubertal and adolescent girls undergoing ovarian preservation surgeries with good harvesting, and no follow-up has been conveyed, to date. Outcomes of ovarian function after ovarian suppression with GnRH-analogs in adults have been controversial and no reports are available for pre-pubertal girls. Conclusions Autologous transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian cortex probably represents the best option for preservation of fertility and hormonal function in childhood cancer females; however, future research needs to address the safety of this technique, especially in patients with blood-borne cancers. Ovarian suppression with GnRHanalogs at the time of chemotherapy treatment has not proven to be superior to non-suppression for fertility preservation purposes in adults. Not enough evidence is presently available in childhood cancer patients.

“…Although these findings cannot be extrapolated to other protocols, various other clinics have comparable freezing protocols to the DMSO-based protocol that was evaluated in the current paper. [60,6,13,61] Nevertheless, ethylene glycol is also used as a cryoprotectant in a major center reporting live births. [26] With respect to thawing, a variety of protocols has been reported.…”

“…Thus far, at least 30 live births have been reported following cryopreservation and autotransplantation of ovarian tissue. [1] Various methods for ovarian tissue cryopreservation and thawing [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] are being used worldwide. Although the efficacy of cryopreservation of ovarian tissue may thus differ from one center to another, information regarding these differences is scarce.…”
