Preserving fertility throughout cancer treatment is critical for maintaining quality of life. Fertility experts should propose individualized fertility preservation methods based on the patient\u2019s marital status, pubertal status, partner status, and the urgency of treatment. Widely practiced fertility preservation methods, including ovarian transposition and embryo and oocyte cryopreservation, are inappropriate for prepubertal girls or those needing urgent initiation of cancer treatment. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation, an emerging new technology, may be a solution for these cancer patients. The use of stem cells in ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation increases oxygenation, angiogenesis, and follicle survival rates. This review discusses the recent advances in ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation with special focus on the use of stem cells to improve fertilization techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms222212482","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,19]],"date-time":"2021-11-19T08:29:17Z","timestamp":1637310557000},"page":"12482","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Role of Stem Cells in the Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Transplantation for Fertility Preservation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jeong Min","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2541-8879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seongmin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecologic Cancer Center, CHA Ilsan Medical Center, CHA University College of Medicine, Goyang-si 10414, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5546-0763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanghoon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21590","article-title":"Cancer statistics, 2020","volume":"70","author":"Siegel","year":"2020","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
