Title: Regional air transportation of ovarian tissue for cryopreservation in a prepubertal female with cancer. Cord-id: 9oyatakc Document date: 2021_6_8
ID: 9oyatakc
Snippet: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the only fertility preservation (FP) option available to prepubescent females receiving gonadotoxic therapy, but it has limited availability. A 6-year-old female was diagnosed with high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma, and the planned treatment carried an 80% risk of ovarian failure. Her parents desired FP, but the nearest center was 500 miles away. The patient underwent oophorectomy at the cancer center with air transport of the tissue to the oncofertility center, where
Document: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the only fertility preservation (FP) option available to prepubescent females receiving gonadotoxic therapy, but it has limited availability. A 6-year-old female was diagnosed with high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma, and the planned treatment carried an 80% risk of ovarian failure. Her parents desired FP, but the nearest center was 500 miles away. The patient underwent oophorectomy at the cancer center with air transport of the tissue to the oncofertility center, where it was successfully cryopreserved. Formation of networks between full-service and limited oncofertility centers in a hub-and-spoke model would increase access to FP services, particularly in children.
