UTILIZATION OF EMBRYOS AND EGGS CRYOPRESERVED PRIOR TO GONADOTOXIC TREATMENT: WHY ARE SOME WOMEN NOT RETURNING TO USING THEIR FROZEN EMBRYOS OR EGGS?

Abstract

A growing number of patients are referred for fertility preservation treatment (FPT) prior to gonadotoxic therapy. FPT options include embryo (EC), oocyte (OC) and ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Our objective was to examine future utilization of cryopreserved embryos and eggs in females undergoing fertility preservation treatment prior to gonadotoxic therapy.
