Brief Title: Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation in Children
Official Title: Ovarian Tissue Freezing For Fertility Preservation In Girls Facing A Fertility Threatening Medical Diagnosis Or Treatment Regimen
Study ID: NCT02646384
Brief Summary: The Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol is being designed to offer ovarian tissue cryopreservation to female pediatric patients (birth-17 years of age) with fertility threatening medical diagnoses or facing surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy that may cause loss of reproductive potential. Because this procedure is currently considered experimental, the establishment of an IRB protocol under which this opportunity can be offered is needed.
Detailed Description: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is currently considered experimental but offers the only opportunity for fertility preservation in pre-menarchal girls faced with a fertility threatening diagnosis or treatment plan.
