Based on the number of primordial follicles present at the time of treatment and the dose of radiation received by the ovaries determines the fertility “window”. It has been reported to have 90% patient following total body irradiation and 97% female with total abdominal irradiation had developed with ovarian failures.
It is ideal to preserve male and female gametes or gonadal tissue before chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer treatment.
