Summary
This trial is studying whether it is safe to give patients their own frozen ovarian tissue after chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments for cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who have lost their fertility due to cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation and had previously frozen ovarian tissue. They must be in good health, cleared by an oncologist, and either have primary ovarian insufficiency or wish to become pregnant. Women at high surgical risk, with pregnancy contraindications, BRCA mutations, certain cancers, psychological issues preventing consent, or current pregnancy cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of transplanting a woman's own previously frozen ovarian tissue back into her body. This procedure aims to restore fertility in women who became infertile after receiving cancer treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical risks associated with surgical procedures such as infection, bleeding, pain at the transplantation site; hormonal changes; and possible failure to restore fertility.
