Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue in pediatric patients undergoing sterilizing chemotherapy

Résumé

Significantly improved survival rates in children and adolescents with cancer have put fertility preservation high on the pediatric oncology agenda. Here we report a retrospective single-center study of 13 years experience of ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) before sterilizing treatment in order to define the safety/benefits of OTC and study clinical/hormonal outcomes in girls. From 2000 to 2013, OTC was performed in 36 girls: eight had non-malignant disease and 28 had malignant disease. Laparoscopy was used to collect a third of each ovary that was frozen by a slow cooling protocol. Indications for OTC were 13 auto-, 19 allo-stem-cell-transplantation and 4 sterilizing chemotherapy. Ovarian tissue harvested by intraumbilical laparoscopy led to no major postoperative complications and did not delay chemotherapy. Histological analysis of ovarian tissue showed an average of 9 primordial follicles/mm(2) [0-83] and no malignant cells were identified. Median post-harvest follow-up was 36 months [1-112]: 26 girls were alive in complete remission and 10 had died. Hormonal results were evaluable for 27 patients (median age 17 yrs [5-26]): 16 patients were in premature ovarian insufficiency. OTC sampling one third of each ovary appears to be an appropriate approach to preserve fertility in children without consequences on subsequent therapeutic program.
