Experimental Approaches for Fertility Preservation in Prepubertal Boys Undergoing Oncological Therapy

Abstract An increasing number of prepubertal boys encountering infertility due to cancer treatment has prompted a range of studies to set up new methods for fertility restoration and male germ cell maturation. In this regard, cryopreservation of immature testicular tissue (ITT) from biopsy sample...
