Fertility preservation in cancer patients.
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).
