Abstract:
Childhood cancer patients undergoing cancer therapy can be rendered infertile during adulthood. With more girls surviving cancer, fertility preservation in young cancer patients is a major clinical challenge. Advances in egg culture may offer benefits for the fertility of these patients in the future.
