La cryopréservation du tissu ovarien permet aussi de préserver la fertilité chez les jeunes filles atteintes d'un cancer. S'il était déjà possible de congeler leurs ovules, on peut maintenant préserver des bouts de tissu ovarien. Cette procédure est principalement utilisée chez les jeunes filles prépubères chez qui il n'est pas possible de stimuler la production d'ovules.
