Abstract
This is the second case of delivery following heterotopic grafting as well as the second case of successful transplantation of ovarian tissue from a patient with early-stage ovarian cancer. The recovered grafts showed that a lower number of functional follicles than previously estimated can actually support ovarian function. Removing and refreezing grafted tissue could be a new way of handling not only cancer patients with a risk of malignant cell recurrence, but also certain groups of patients with genetic conditions.
