Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation in Pre-Pubertal (OTC-Pre Pubertal)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to safely remove ovarian tissue in pre-pubertal pediatric patients, who are at risk for infertility from their medical treatment, for freezing for future restoration of fertility and hormone function.

* cyclophosphamide cumulative dose ≥7.5 g/m2
* any treatment regimen containing procarbazine
* busulfan cumulative dose \>600 mg/m2
* alkylating chemotherapy conditioning prior to stem cell transplantation combination of any alkylating agent with total body irradiation or whole abdomen or pelvic radiation cranial radiation ≥30 Gy summed alkylating agent dose score ≥3 (Green et al., 2009) cyclophosphamide equivalent dose (CED) ≥ 4,000 mg/m2 (Green et al., 2014)
