One of the treatments they use on women that have breast cancer is embryo cryopreservation backgrounder, which is a process that involves freeing embryos to be used at a future date. They use an advanced method of rapid freezing, which leads to a higher survival of the embryos. Once frozen the embryos are stored in batches. There can be one or more batches depending on the number that will be later transferred to the uterus. Embryos stored for three years still have a high success rate of more than 40% when this technique is used. There’s plans to test other preservation methods in this highly scientific environment.
