Azevedo, Ana Rita; Pais, Ana Sofia; Almeida-Santos, Teresa; Pires, Virgínia M.; Pessa, Pedro; Marques, Carla C.; Nolasco, Sofia; Castelo-Branco, Pedro

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a female fertility preservation technique that presents major challenges for the maintenance of follicular viability after transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the application of L-Mesitran Soft®, a product containing 40% medical grade honey (MGH), with other strategies to improve ovarian grafts’ viability. For this purpose, bovine ovarian tissue ...

Background: Fertility preservation must be discussed with reproductive age women before cancer treatment. Heart transplantation raises complex issues in pregnancy. Pregnancy in a heart transplant woman after pelvic irradiation involves close multidisciplinary follow-up to avoid complications in the mother and the foetus. We report the first live birth in a heart transplant woman after pelvic irradiation, chemot...


The effect of neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in BRCA mutated triple ne...

Caramelo, Olga L.; Silva, Cristina M.; Caramelo, Francisco; Frutuoso, Cristina; Almeida-Santos, Teresa

Background: Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) are associated with an aggressive clinical course, earlier recurrence and short survival. BRCA – mutated tumours represent up to 25% of all TNBC. BRCA status is being studied as a predictive biomarker of response to platinum agents. However, the predictive role of BRCA status is still uncertain in this setting. Since TNBC is a very heterogeneous group of disease...


Adverse reproductive health outcomes in a cohort of young women with breast can...

Silva, Cristina; Rama, Ana Cristina Ribeiro; Reis Soares, Sérgio; Moura-Ramos, Mariana; Almeida-Santos, Teresa

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in young women. Fortunately current survival rates of BC are significant which makes future fertility very important for quality of life of BC survivors. Chemotherapy carries a significant risk of infertility in BC patients so it is important to support fertility preservation decisions in premenopausal women. Amenorrhea has long been used as a surrogate marker...


Medically Assisted Reproduction in Natural Cycle: Outcome Evaluation of a Repro...

Alves, Mariana Carlos; Marques, Andreia Leitão; Leite, Helena Barros; Sousa, Ana Paula; Almeida-Santos, Teresa

Introduction: Medically assisted reproduction in natural cycle has been investigated, especially in women with poor response to conventional ovarian stimulation, with endometrial receptivity improvement, lower cost and possibility of successive cycles. The disadvantages are: lower profitability per treatment cycle and higher cancellation rate. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of clinical pregnanc...

Purpose Oncofertility focuses on providing fertility and endocrine-sparing options to patients who undergo life-preserving but gonadotoxic cancer treatment. The resources needed to meet patient demand often are fragmented along disciplinary lines. We quantify assets and gaps in oncofertility care on a global scale. Methods Survey-based questionnaires were provided to 191 members of the Oncofertility Consortium ...
