current protocols for cancer treatment could lead to the failure of ovarian function and subsequent infertility in women. therefore, utilizing ways to preserve fertility in these individuals seem to be essential. in this review, the full-text of articles which were accessible and had been published during 1976 to 2009 about different methods of female fertility preservation were collected and s...

Involvement of the ovary by malignant lymphoma is well known as late manifestation disseminated disease. Primary ovarian lymphoma(POL) extremely rare , accounting for 0.5 % all NHLs and 1.5% neoplasms1 . We here in describe a case Large B cell Lymphoma involving bilateral ovaries 34 year old female.Preoperative CT imaging showed heterogenous soft tissue masses with cystic areas both ovaries. Sh...

Background: With all the recent advances in cancer treatments, many young cancer patients find themselves facing the prospect of losing their fertility after aggressive chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Cryopreservation of ovarian cortical tissue has emerged as a potential option to restore fertility in these young women. Materials and Methods: Because autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian c...

Background: In this study, we evaluated the incidence of apoptosis at the ultrastructural levels and expression of some apoptosis-related genes in vitrified human ovarian tissue just after warming. Methods: Human ovarian tissue biopsies from 23 women after caesarean section were transported to the laboratory within 2 hours, and then they were cut into small pieces. Some pieces were vitrified an...

Ovarian tissue freezing or cryopreservation might be the only acceptable method for preserving the young women fertility, before radiotherapy or chemotherapy. This technology might be used for patients with recurrent ovarian cysts or endometriosis, without ovarian stimulation. Many efforts have made to improve cryopreservation conditions that should be seriously considered for cancer patients. ...

The ovarian artery supplies oxygenated blood to the ovary. Pathological conditions such as cysts, neoplasm, long mesovarium and adnexal venous congestion may lead to the ovarian torsion. Long-term arterial, venous or lymphatic obstruction of the ovary causes a critical reduction in tissue blood flow and permanent tissue damage [1]. So, early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian torsion is importa...

background: cryopreservation of mammalian ovaries has been reported with different levels of success. cryopreservation of ovarian tissue may be a potential alternative for treatment of infertility and many attempts have been done to improve the efficiency of ovarian cryopreservation. the objective of the present study was to compare the direct cover vitrification (dcv) with ethylene glycol (eg)...

introduction: among the endocrine diseases, hypothyroidism is the commonest after diabetes.thyroid hormones (t3,t4) are essential for genital organs function. apoptosis process in ovarian cells plays a significant role of development in ovarian follicles. the aim of the present study was determine the apoptotic index induced by hypothyroidism in rat ovarian follicles. materials and methods: in ...

BACKGROUND New anticancer treatments have increased survival rates for cancer patients, but often at the cost of sterility. Several strategies are currently available for preserving fertility. However, the chances of achieving a pregnancy with one technique are still limited. A combination of methods is therefore recommended in order to maximize women's chances of future fertility. In this retr...
