This book is a practical guide to the
cryopreservation and transplantation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian and
testicular tissue for fertility preservation. Illustrated with a wealth
of figures and photos, it provides updated techniques for clinicians,
technicians, and researchers. This book also gives insights into in vitro
activation (IVA), in vitro growing (IVG), and in vitro maturation (IVM), with
both basic research and future directions. These techniques combined with
cryopreservation will improve the chances of reproduction. Cryopreservation is
essential to protect fertility in cancer patients who undergo treatment with
radioiodine or chemotherapy, which may cause damage to their reproductive
organs, and also for primary ovarian insufficiency patients. The book also
includes a chapter on the risk of the presence of malignant cells in ovarian
tissue. Both editors are pioneering researchers in this field.
