Fertility Preservation Clinic
Oncofertility Preservation Clinic:
Cancer treatment planning is essential because a patient’s survival and future health can depend on the correct treatment, However, these treatments may damage the reproductive system, organs, and glands that control fertility. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy (especially alkylating agents) can affect the ovaries and cause them to stop releasing eggs and estrogen, a condition which is called primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). Sometimes POI is temporary and your menstrual periods and fertility return after treatment. Oncologists should be aware of situations where their treatment affects the fertility of patients undergoing cancer treatment and should also be aware of the available pathways for procedures such as cryopreservation of gonad tissue. It is now essential to consider fertility preservation as part of the care provided to cancer patients.
There are still obvious challenges to be solved, especially in the field of fertility preservation in prepubertal patients. These include ethical issues, such as valid consent and research in the area of tissue retrieval, cryopreservation, and transplantation.
Fertility Preservation for Female Cancer Patients (options for Fertility Conservation):
. Ovarian Suppression with GnRH analogues:
GnRH analogues are used during chemotherapy to suppress the ovarian cycle and induce temporary medical menopause. The function of GnRH analogues is not clearly understood as primordial and primary follicles do not have GnRH receptors and GnRH analogues may preserve those follicles that have already begun to grow.
. Ovarian Transposition (Oophoropexy)
The goal is to surgically remove the ovaries from the direct field of radiation. It is useful in the treatment of gynecological cases and hematological cancers such as Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Most ovarian transpositions are performed laparoscopically, and there are suggestions that lateral transposition may be more protective than medial translocations.
. Embryo, Oocyte, and Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation
The choice of the type of tissue to be preserved depends on the type of cancer, the patient’s age, and whether she has a partner. Time is often the limiting factor in this choice.
. Embryo Cryopreservation
Embryo storage is ideal for an adult woman in a stable relationship, as it has been an established method available since the mid-1980s. IVF offers a success rate of approximately 30% per cycle (dependent on age) and this is similar to the natural pregnancy rate achievable by healthy couples without assisted reproductive techniques. This involves stimulating the ovaries using gonadotrophins, which results in high levels of estrogen, which of course raises concerns for certain tumors, such as estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. It is still unclear what the risks of such techniques are in terms of tumor progression or recurrence in hormone-dependent cancer. Some groups have attempted to address this problem by using tamoxifen or letrozole alone or in combination with standard IVF stimulation for women with breast or endometrial cancer. IVF stimulation takes a minimum of two weeks. After follicles are stimulated to mature, an egg collection procedure is usually performed under heavy sedation anesthetic. The eggs are collected vaginally using an ultrasound probe to guide a fine needle into the ovary.
IVF is then performed to fertilize the patient’s eggs with the partner’s sperm before freezing the embryos. There is currently limited availability of donor sperm for adult women trying to preserve reproductive potential while undergoing chemotherapy.
. Oocyte Cryopreservation
This technique is suitable for adults and for older teenagers who do not have a current partner. The stored eggs can later be thawed and used in IVF techniques with ICSI. Oocytes are much more susceptible to damage from cryopreservation techniques than embryos (probably secondary to spindle damage from ice crystal formation). The formation of ice crystals and the attendant cellular damage during freezing can be potentially avoided by vitrification. For younger patients, oocyte storage may be an option, as harvest techniques can include transabdominal ultrasound and laparoscopy to retrieve eggs rather than subjecting the patient to the transvaginal technique.
. Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation
This is a technique that can be used for adults and for children. This method is the best option to preserve fertility in prepuberty and single girls. Optimal treatment benefit can only be expected if there is a healthy ovarian reserve; As such, it is less likely to benefit older patients over 40. Laparoscopy is necessary to perform a biopsy of two-thirds of the ovarian tissue for preservation.
At first, the tissue is cut into thin sections and then cryopreserved in a relatively straightforward fashion. After ovarian transplantation, normal ovarian function was restored, leading to the conception and delivery of a live infant at 38 weeks. The risk of reimplantation of tissue with occult cancer is significant. Only patients with cancer cases associated with low risk of ovarian metastasis such as squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, Wilms’ tumor, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma should be considered for future auto transplantation. Patients with moderate or particularly high risk of ovarian involvement should not be considered for autotransplantation in the future. In 2010, Royan Institute established the Human Ovarian Tissue Bank as a subgroup of the Embryology Department to provide fertility preservation services to cancer patients who are eligible to preserve their reproductive ability. This bank passed an audit and received a certificate of international quality standard ISO 9001:2015 in 2016. This bank has about 180 patients aged 7 to 35.
Fertility Preservation in the Male Cancer Patient
. Practical Laboratory Issues for Sperm Banking:
A critical factor for male patients requiring sperm banking is the timing of the sample as it is essential that this occurs before chemo- or radiotherapy. Prescreening is required and the patients are checked for Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis, HIV and CMV.

Research Center for Basic and Population Based Studies in Non-Communicable Diseases According to the latest report from the International Diabetes Federation, there are currently 463 million people with diabetes worldwide, half of whom are undiagnosed. It is also estimated that in the next 15 years, the global prevalence will increase to 700 million people. Iran is considered the third country in the region with an adult population (age 20-79) of more than 5 million people with diabetes. In 1980, the prevalence of obesity in the world was reported to be 29%, which increased to 37% in 2013.
In Iran, more than 25 million people (63% of the adult population) are overweight. In addition, 30% of the country’s children population are considered overweight. Currently, one million people in the country are obese, and it is predicted that obesity in Iran will increase in the next few years. All in all, these health concerns pose a great challenge and a significant economic burden on the country’s healthcare system, and its growing rate requires a systematic approach in all aspects of research, prevention, and therapy.
In the Center for Basic and Population-Based Studies in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD), the researchers study the following issues:
. Cell-based therapy research: development of stem cells and pancreatic islet transplantation technologies.
. Biodiscovery and disease modeling: cell-based disease modeling, generation of transgenic animal models for diseases, natural compound discovery by high-throughput screenings to test on cell and animal models of disease.
. Clinical and epidemiological studies: designing epidemiological studies on the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other endocrine diseases among juveniles and adults to find disease prevention methods; designing and conducting clinical trials for novel treatments in endocrine and metabolic diseases; conducting systematic reviews on subjects lacking scientific consensus.
