A combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in young females with cancer has greatly enhanced the life expectancy of these patients, even if these treatments have a highly deleterious effect on the ovary and cause a severe depletion of the follicular store. Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue before chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, followed by autograft after remission or in in vitro maturation, could restore gonadal function and fertility. The aim of this study is to verify the efficiency of the ovarian tissue cryopreservation procedure by histological and immunohistochemical analyses.
