Overview
Brief Summary
Pelvic chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer (LACC). However, CRT induces premature ovarian failure ceasing the production of ovarian hormones. This may lead to severe consequences to the patient's life quality, sexuality and overall healthy. An acceptable treatment to minimize the adverse effects caused by the lack of ovarian hormones is hormonal replacement but less than 40% of the patients younger than 50 years have access to this treatment. A second alternative treatment is ovarian transposing which is a surgical technique with variable success rate depending on how far the ovaries are from the radiotherapy field. A third, more promising, alternative is involves using autologous ovarian tissue as a graft in tissues far from the radiotherapy field. This treatment has the potential of maintaining the natural ovarian hormones production at a lower-cost and requiring a simpler procedure. The primary objective of this randomized phase 1-2 clinical trial is to validate the feasibility of ovarian tissue engraft into fatty tissue and its endocrine functionality.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Dosage of serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in mUI/ml in intervention (engraft of ovarian tissue into fatty tissue) and control groups. Dosage will be performed at baseline and post radiotherapy (2, 6, 12 and 24 months).
Time Frame: 2 years
Endocrine functionality is defined as FSH levels under 25 mUI/ml.
Dosage of serum levels of estradiol in pg/ml in intervention (engraft of ovarian tissue into fatty tissue) and control groups. . Dosage will be performed at baseline and post radiotherapy (2, 6, 12 and 24 months).
Time Frame: 2 years
Endocrine functionality is defined as estradiol upper 47 pg/mL.
