Keywords: United States 5-year-old girl from the ovary ovum young cancer patients fertility

[/]: According to the United Kingdom the Daily Telegraph reported that United States scientists successfully use 5-year-old girl of ovarian tissue cultivation out of the egg cells, this means that future children cancer patients still have the opportunity to give birth to their baby.

Children and adolescents with cancer treatment for infertility, they left behind can be managed only by using the donation of eggs and sperm have children of their own. For those who have not yet reached adolescence children suffering from cancer, this problem is particularly difficult because they cannot freeze your eggs and sperm. But now, the scientists in the lab to the 5-year-old girl from ovarian tissue samples in the eggs. Scientists able to detach from the ovarian tissue immature eggs, in a special dish. The next step depends on whether these eggs are fertilized, formation of embryos. If feasible, these eggs can be frozen and stored for future use, or take advantage of the latest technology for refrigerated.

Every year there are a lot less than 15-year-old children were diagnosed with cancer, half of which less than 5 years old. The most common cancer in children is leukemia, the infection rate is 35%, followed by the brain or spine tumors.

Age to age 5 to 20-year-old 19 patients. Them from every patient organizations in average for nine eggs, which can successfully develop mature eggs to 34%. United States the reproductive medicine Association · David Adamson said: "with our children's ability to improve cancer, cancer survivors live rich, full, including fertility life becomes increasingly important. This study will help us achieve child cancer patients become parents. "Reproductive doctors attempted to use a variety of ways to help young people with cancer to conceive their children.

This way, the woman through the acquisition of in vitro fertilization and her own children. United Kingdom of fertility experts in research from non-cancer patients in developing eggs, making them delay motherhood. This technique of first phase including the use of keyhole surgery cut ovarian tissue in small pieces. Although only a few millimeters long, but each specimen contains thousands of eggs is not fully.

In this way the risks posed to the female is low, but thousands of eggs instead of several eggs. You can then save the eggs, the female future to children. This program is expected to be 5 years into clinical use.
