Abstract:
This symposium was an international gathering of clinicians and scientists working in the field of preservation of fertility for male and female cancer patients and was organized by Professor Ettore Cittadini. Two days of invited lectures covered the spectrum of options for cryopreservation of fertility, from sperm, testicular tissue and germ cells, to eggs and ovarian tissue. The UK was represented by invited talks from Daniel Brison (sperm cryopreservation), John Radford (ovarian tissue cryopreservation), Kate Hardy (in vitro culture of follicles) and David Baird (ovarian tissue cryopreservation and regrafting in sheep).

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
