Abstract
Today, timely diagnosis and therapeutic progress open a road of hope for survival in cancerous patients. Increased knowledge about the various cytotoxic treatment's impacts on ovarian function and fertility has resulted in a surge in the number of patients seeking to preserve their fertility before starting the anti-cancer treatment process. In this regard, embryo cryopreservation can be recommended for fertility preservation when the woman is married and has adequate time for ovarian stimulation. If patients are prepubertal girls or not married women, oocytes or ovarian tissue can be frozen instead to be used in the future. In this regard, the first attempts for ovarian tissue transplantations were conducted in 2016 and in 2019 for two cancerous patients whose ovarian tissue was cryopreserved in the Royan Human Ovarian Tissue Bank (Tehran, Iran). Unfortunately, the transplantations did not result in a live birth.
