Gonadal development and function after immature testicular tissue banking as part of high-risk gonadotoxic treatment.

The clinical follow-up data demonstrate no effect related to the biopsy procedure, but a substantial risk for impaired gonadal development after high-risk gonadotoxic treatment, in particular myeloablative CT-HSCT. Longer follow-up studies with a larger study population are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
