Abstract
Due to the increase in cancer among young women, the risk of premature ovarian insufficiency with subsequent infertility has been raised. Fertility preservation restores reproductive potential along with increasing life expectancy in these patients. Given the articles on new options for treating cancerous women, we searched the keywords, including fertility preservation, in vitro maturation (IVM), and ovarian cryopreservation. This review focuses on the currently available procedures, including in (IVM) of retrieved immature oocytes, oocyte, embryo, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC). OTC is a helpful procedure that restores ovarian function and natural pregnancy. Also, we summarized the literature that reported the qualification of using the abovementioned procedures, comparing the cryopreservation methods including vitrification and slow freezing. Due to the impressive clinical development of OTC in cancerous patients, it is recommended as a standard treatment in cryopreservation strategies.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
