Abstract:
Three women with chronic myelogenous leukaemia underwent stem cell transplantation. They all were concerned about their future fertility. The first woman underwent egg donation when she was in complete remission, and gave birth to a healthy son. The second one underwent an IVF treatment before stem cell transplantation: 15 embryos were frozen. The third woman asked for cryopreservation of ovarian tissue. This procedure is not (yet) possible in our clinic. The possibilities and complications of these three procedures are discussed as well as the indication for the possible cryopreservation of ovarian tissue.
