New service allows female cancer patients in Hong Kong to preserve ovarian tissue, giving them hope of having children in future

Female cancer patients can now choose to preserve their ovarian tissue as a means to regain their reproductive ability after their recovery, with a university in Hong Kong providing the service for the first time in the city.

Cancer patients in urgent need of treatment cannot afford to undergo embryo or egg freezing which requires time to stimulate the ovaries, while those who are still children have not undergone puberty to produce eggs.
