Progress and prospects for fertility preservation in prepubertal boys with cancer Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In the past few years, options for fertility preservation in prepubescent boys have enlarged tremendously.
RECENT FINDINGS: After a long period of studies on spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) transplantation in mice, recently successful use of rhesus monkey SSCs for autologous and allogeneic transplantation was demonstrated. Furthermore, newer protocols on transplantation of SSCs back into the testes and on how to ...

Exogenous Gonadotrophin Stimulation Induces Partial Maturation of Human Sertoli Cells in a Testicular Xenotransplantation Model for Fertility Preservation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The future fertility of prepubertal boys with cancer may be irreversibly compromised by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Successful spermatogenesis has not been achieved following the xenotransplantation of prepubertal human testis tissue, which is likely due to the failure of somatic cell maturation and function. We used a validated xenograft model to identify the factors required for Leydig and Sertoli cell development and function in ...

Stimulation of the ovaries in women with breast cancer undergoing fertility preservation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy for breast cancer may have a negative impact on reproductive function due to gonadotoxicity. Fertility preservation via banking of oocytes or embryos after ovarian stimulation with FSH can increase the likelihood of a future live birth. It has been hypothesized that elevated serum estrogen levels during ovarian stimulation may induce breast tumour growth. This has led to the use of alternative stimulation protocols ...
