Aggressive chemotherapy generally results in the loss of both endocrine and reproductive functions. For some women, however, oocyte, embryo or ovarian tissue cryopreservation were not proposed at the time. For three such women, orthotopic allotransplantation of fresh ovarian tissue from their genetically non-identical sister was performed.
