Objective To analyze the reason of tumor treatment-related premature ovarian failure, and to review the progress of ovarian functional reconstruction. Methods The l iterature about the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on ovarian function and reconstruct ovarian function was reviewed, analysed and summarized. Results Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can both affect ovarian function. The ovarian function reconstruction included fresh ovarian transplantation and ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation. Frequent ovarian cryopreservation was procedure slow-freezing protocols and vitrification protocols. Some laboratory and animal models of ovarian function reconstruction have come to gratifying results. Conclusion Ovarian function reconstruction has a potential cl inical value and provides a promising future.
