Data indicate the number of CML and ALL patients, their age at the time of OTC, and the type of gonadotoxic chemotherapy received before OTC. Molecular markers present in blood or bone marrow at the time of diagnosis were tested by PCR on frozen-thawed ovarian tissue. Results of the grafting experiments, showing the macroscopic aspect of the grafts at mouse death, as well as the histology of ovarian xenografts and mouse livers, are also presented. CML patients received hydroxycarbamide with or without imatinib.

OTC indicates ovarian tissue cryopreservation; Ig, immunoglobulin rearrangement genes; TCR, T-cell receptor rearrangement genes; and NA, not appropriate.

*

1 indicates methotrexate, intrathecally; 2, cortisone, intravenously; 3, cyclophosphamide; 4, vincristine; 5, doxorubicin, 6, cytosine arabinoside; 7, daunorubicin; and 8, asparaginase.
