Ex vivo oocyte retrieval for fertility preservation in an adolescent patient with recurrent ovarian dysgerminoma: a case report and review of the literature
The combination of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation followed by ex vivo oocyte retrieval provides select patients with an opportunity for fertility preservation that may have otherwise faced a complete loss of fertility. In this case, the patient was able to preserve oocytes without jeopardizing her health status or delaying cancer therapy.
