Summary

This trial will test whether it's possible to store a woman's ovarian tissue so that it can be thawed and transplanted back at a later date, preserving her fertility.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-41 who may lose ovarian function due to medical treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation for conditions such as cancer. It's also open to those needing ovary removal and have not had previous therapy likely to cause permanent ovarian damage. Participants must be able to give informed consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests the preservation of fertility through freezing ovarian tissue before treatments that could harm the ovaries. The goal is to see if human eggs can survive and function after being stored in frozen state long-term.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are related mainly to the surgical procedure required for tissue collection, which includes risks associated with anesthesia, infection at the surgery site, bleeding, and pain post-operation.
