survives breast cancer explains the increase in the demand for fertility preservation techniques. Neither embryo nor oocyte cryopreservation is a practical option for women who cannot delay cancer treatment. These aspects are more relevant in breast cancer

Introduction In the early development of mammalian embryos, fertilized eggs differentiate into an inner cell mass (ICM) and an outer trophectoderm (TE), from which ICM develops into the embryo as well as the amnion, yolk sac and allantois

characteristic feature of sexual development in both female and male birds is gonadal asymmetry: the right ovary does not develop, and the right testis is often slightly smaller than the left ( Lillie 1952 ). Treatment of avian embryos with an oestrogenic
