Sponsored by University Hospital, Ghent · Observational
Patients in this study will be asked how they feel about the decision to freeze gametes, using a validated questionnaire. In addition, a number of questions with free text fields will be included in the questionnaire to write down any reasons for their satisfaction or regret. In a second part, the intention to use the frozen material will be assessed. We focus on techniques with real perspectives (e.g. cryopreservation of oocytes and sperm cells) and not on techniques that are more experimental for later use (cryopreservation of ovarian and testicular tissue).
University Hospital, Ghent is the lead sponsor of 685 studies on the registry; 158 are open to participants now.
