Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Subsequent Auto-Transplantation for Female Cancer Patients (HKCH)

Summary

Ovarian tissue freezing is an ideal option for these patients as it can be performed immediately and does not need any time for ovarian stimulation. We hope we can develop this service in our locality to allow more young female cancer patients to have their fertility preserved.
