Abstract: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation(OTCT)is a new fertility preservation(FP)technology, which can preserve not only the fertility, but also the ovarian endocrine function. Without ovarian stimulation and delaying anticancer treatment, thousands of follicles can be cryopreserved at one time, and natural pregnancy can be achieved after ovarian tissue transplantation, which is the only way to preserve fertility for prepubertal girls and young women who cannot delay anticancer treatment. In 2019, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine(ASRM)claimed that OTCT was no longer an experimental technique.

Key words: Fertility preservation, Ovarian tissue cryopreservation, Ovarian tissue transplantation, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy
