Article Synopsis
- * New techniques make OTCT a real option, not just a test, and there’s interest in using it to delay menopause and its symptoms.
- * While more research is needed to prove OTCT’s effectiveness for menopause, it shows promise as a new way to help women avoid menopause-related health problems.
Background: The serum P concentrations are suggested to have an impact on pregnancy outcome. However there is no consensus about the optimal progesterone cut-off during the luteal phase. Few studies evaluated the effectiveness of a "rescue protocol" for low serum P concentrations and most of these studies used vaginal progesterone administration.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOvarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation (OTCT) has emerged in recent years as a potential method for reversing abnormal endocrine and reproductive functions, particularly in patients receiving gonadotoxic cancer treatments having longer survival rates. From its first rodent experiments to human trials, OTCT has evolved tremendously, opening new windows for further utilization. Since then, significant progress has been achieved in terms of techniques used for surgical removal of the tissue, optimal fragment size, freezing and thawing procedures, and appropriate surgical sites for the subsequent reimplementation of the graft.

However, malignant cell introduction through ovarian tissue transplantation remains a major concern for patients with acute leukemias.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the safety of performing autologous ovarian tissue transplantation in survivors of acute leukemia.
