Χρήση μικροσκοπίου φθορισμού για την εκτίμηση της επιβίωσης των ωοθυλακίων πριν και μετά την κατάψυξη του ωοθηκικού ιστού
Summary:
The annual incidence rate of cancer is estimated more than 11.000 patients in
UK in the age group of 15-40 years old, which corresponds to 4% of all cancer
patients. The diagnosis of cancer is followed by devastating consequences for
the patients themselves and their families in this age group. Although the
treatment of cancer is of crucial significance, it should also examine the
impact of the disease on fertility at the time of diagnosis and the damages
caused from the surgical treatment, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. (Royal
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2007)
The gynecological cancer, the prevention and treatment, as well as the
prevention of fertility in young women who are affected with the consequences
of cancer remain the gold standard of the gynecologists. Infertility, whether
temporary or permanent and premature menopause are common complications of the
therapeutic approaches of cancer. The anticipated increase of the incidence of
gynecological cancer in ever younger patients has led the medical community to
specific efforts towards the prevention of fertility both through surgical
practice and also through cryobiology, this scientific field, which studies the
effect of low temperatures on living organisms. Namely cryobiology in terms of
assisted reproduction, enables the process of cryopreservation of gametes,
embryos and ovarian tissue.
