| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The cancer treatments in young women such as anti-cancer drugs and radiation can affect fertility by several biologic systems. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel cryopreservation method for ovarian tissue. In this study, an improved vitrification for ovarian tissue resulted in survival and subsequent development in vivo and oocyte maturation in vitro after cryopreservation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
若年女性ががんに罹患すると、抗がん剤や放射線治療によって不妊になるリスクが増大するが、本研究では卵巣凍結保存法の改良を通じて、若年女性がん患者でもがん治癒後に子供を持つ希望が生まれ、少子化の緩和と生殖医学の発展への一助となる。
