Dr. Jennia Michaeli, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Specialist, Mount Sinai Fertility:
Recent breakthroughs in fertility preservation bring light and hope, especially for those undergoing medical treatments that may impact their future fertility. One significant advancement is the method of ovarian tissue cryopreservation, offering new possibilities, particularly for cancer patients.
This method involves the freezing of ovarian tissue, which is less dependent on the timing of a woman’s menstrual cycle compared to traditional egg freezing. It’s a beacon of hope for many reasons:
- Timeliness for Treatment: Time is of the essence for cancer patients. This method allows for the quick preservation of fertility before starting cancer treatments.
- Inclusive of All Ages: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation offers a broader age range compared to egg freezing. This method can be suitable for individuals from childhood up to the age of 35, providing options for those at different life stages.
- Hormone and Fertility Restoration: The potential to restore natural hormone functions and fertility upon re-implantation offers immense hope to those in remission.
There have been successful pregnancies and births from re-implanted ovarian tissue, providing cancer survivors with the possibility of starting or growing their families in the future.
