Oncofertility

What is Oncofertility?

Oncofertility is a specialized service that safeguards your fertility before you begin essential cancer treatments. We know that every journey is unique, so we work closely with you—and your oncology team—to explore options that best fit your situation. Whether you’re considering egg freezing, embryo preservation, or other fertility-saving techniques, our goal is to provide clear, straightforward information without overwhelming medical jargon.

How Cancer Treatment Affects Your Fertility

Cancer treatments can affect your body in different ways, and the impact on fertility depends on factors such as the type and stage of cancer, your age, and the specific therapies you receive. Here’s what you need to know:

Radiation Therapy: When targeted near the reproductive organs, radiation can disrupt hormone levels and affect the quality of eggs or sperm. The ovaries and testicles are especially sensitive, so special care is needed when treatments involve these areas.

Chemotherapy: Certain chemotherapy drugs—including alkylating agents—may lower fertility by impacting the structure and function of your reproductive organs. They can affect hormone levels, egg and sperm quality, and, in some cases, cause ovarian or testicular damage.

Every patient’s situation is different. That’s why we take the time to understand your unique needs and work with you to determine the best approach for protecting your reproductive future.
