Building a tissue bank to study ovarian health after cancer treatment

This trial is creating a research library of ovarian tissue samples from people who are preserving their fertility before undergoing cancer treatment. Researchers will study these tissue samples to understand how the ovary normally works and to track what happens to fertility and overall health in the years after cancer therapy. The goal is to help future patients make better decisions about fertility preservation and family planning.

Cancer treatments can damage or stop the ovaries from working, leading to infertility and early menopause in young women and girls. By collecting tissue samples and following people's health over time, researchers hope to understand which complications are most common, how to detect problems early, and how to improve long-term reproductive health outcomes.
