Ovary Tissue vs Egg Freezing: Jana’s Story at the Infertility Center of St. Louis (Part 6)

In Part 6 of an 8-episode series, Jana and Dr. Sherman J. Silber discuss why ovary-tissue freezing can be a game-changer for cancer patients. While most clinics offer only egg freezing—yielding one limited cohort and delaying chemotherapy—ovary-tissue cryopreservation removes and vitrifies strips containing ~200,000 eggs without postponing treatment. After remission, the tissue is re-implanted through a minor procedure, restoring natural hormone production, normal cycles, and the ability to conceive through intercourse rather than IVF. Dr. Silber’s team was among the first U.S. pioneers of this technique, giving young oncology patients the chance to preserve both fertility and endocrine health. The conversation highlights how pairing egg and ovary-tissue options tailors preservation to each medical situation, offering hope beyond traditional protocols.
