Background: Most cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of both are highly toxic to the gonads, putting girls and young women at risk of premature ovarian insufficiency and subsequent infertility. Non-oncological conditions may also require therapies that put women's reproductive potential at risk. Fertility preservation counseling should therefore be offered to all patients requiring gonadotoxic treatments, and to those who wish to postpone motherhood for social/personal reasons. Among the most effective fertility preservation options available today, oocyte and embryo cryopreservation, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation have emerged as the front-runners. Aim: This review focuses on the currently available and most widely accepted fertility preservation and restoration strategies, with a special focus on recent advances in ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation. Conclusions: To manage cancer patients satisfactorily and offer proper counsel on the most appropriate option available to them, different parameters need to be taken into account, including pubertal status, partner status and urgency of treatment for the underlying pathology. When fertility preservation is carried out for non-oncological indications or personal reasons, oocyte cryopreservation by vitrification is clearly the highest-yield clinical strategy. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation followed by transplantation is rapidly gaining ground as a fertility preservation and restoration strategy, and will hopefully soon have its 'experimental' label removed to allow practitioners to move on to open clinical application. Techniques to improve grafted ovarian tissue life span and quality as well as to avoid transmission of malignant cells have been developed, showing promise as a way to expand this procedure.

“…There are actually very few indications for fresh ovarian tissue transplantation. One previous indication is monozygotic twins discordant for ovarian failure (192), and another is allografting from a related or unrelated donor who had previously been a bone marrow donor to the patient (193). A third indication involves women in POI whose religion does not allow egg donation but would tolerate an ovary allotransplant.…”

“…A single live birth has been reported, after autograft of ovarian tissue cryopreserved during childhood, in a patient with sickle cell anaemia (25). A single case of live birth after allografting of ovarian cortex between monozygotic twins with TS (45X, 46XX) and discordant ovarian function has been reported (26).…”

Turner syndrome (TS), affecting 1/2000 to 1/2500 live born girls, is a chromosomal aberration with a total or partial loss of one of the X chromosomes. The diagnosis can be established from the intra-uterine life to adulthood. TS is a chronic disease with particular morbidity and mortality. The loss to follow-up rate, during transition, between children and adult units, remains a crucial issue. This review focusses on the adolescent and young adult patients with TS. The different goals of TS transition are presented as well as some of the tools available in order to improve this transition. The involvement of the patient’s family, advocacy groups and therapeutic educational programs are discussed. A specificity concerning TS transition, as compared to other chronic diseases, relies on the fact that patients with TS may present a peculiar neurocognitive profile. They are in general more anxious than the general population. Therefore, psychological support should be offered to optimize transition. Data illustrating the beneficial impact of an organised transition of TS, from paediatric units to multidisciplinary adult care systems, within the same reference centre are presented. Further studies are required to evaluate the mid-to-long-term transition of paediatric patients with TS referred to adult units.
