J. Radford and colleagues, Christie Hospital NHS Trust, U.K., explained, "Temporary ovarian function has been reported following reimplantation of frozen/thawed cortical tissue and it is hoped that in time this technique will allow women sterilized by treatment for cancer to regain their fertility."
Evidence shown in animal studies raised questions, though. "There is, however, a concern, supported by animal data, that ovarian tissue may be contaminated by disease capable of causing a relapse after transplantation. One experiment in which ovarian tissue from women with lymphoma was xenografted into immunodeficient mice showed no evidence of transmission but these results require confirmation and no data exists for other malignancies," Radford and coauthors said.
"For the time being, therefore, it is recommended that harvesting and reimplantation of ovarian ...
