Abstract: Oocyte cryopreservation has a history of more than 30 years, which is mainly applicable to the fertility preservation of cancer patients before radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or non-cancer patients and people who delay childbearing due to personal factors. In addition, it can also be used as a remedy for male inability to provide sperm due to special factors in the process of assisted reproduction. At present, the commonly used methods of oocyte cryopreservation include slow cryopreservation and vitrification cryopreservation, and with the progress of research, vitrification has gradually replaced slow cryopreservation. Many studies have shown no significant differences in clinical pregnancy rates, obstetric and perinatal outcomes between embryos transferred using frozen eggs and fresh eggs.

Key words: Egg freezing, Clinical application, Oocyte cryopreservation, Effectiveness, Safety
