Oncofertility
A cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to mean letting go of your hopes for a family. With timely fertility preservation options and coordinated care, we help you protect your future while focusing on your treatment today.
What is oncofertility?
Oncofertility is a specialized field that helps people protect their reproductive options before starting cancer treatment. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery can all impact fertility—sometimes permanently. That’s why it’s so important to consider preservation early.
We work closely with your oncology team to make sure fertility preservation is seamlessly integrated into your cancer care—without delaying essential treatment. Our goal is to give you peace of mind and real choices when the time is right.

Time is critical—
but so is compassion
We know that fertility may not be the first thing on your mind after a cancer diagnosis—but having options later on can be a source of strength during treatment. If you or your loved one has just been diagnosed, the best time to connect with us is before starting cancer therapy. We’ll move quickly to schedule a consultation and explore preservation options right away.
Fertility preservation options for cancer patients
We tailor every preservation plan to your unique diagnosis, treatment timeline, and personal goals. Options include:
Egg freezing
For patients assigned female at birth, mature eggs can be retrieved and safely frozen before treatment begins. These unfertilized eggs can later be combined with sperm through IVF, when you’re ready to try for a pregnancy.
Sperm freezing
For patients assigned male at birth, sperm samples can be collected and cryopreserved quickly and safely for use in future fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.
Embryo Freezing
If you have a partner and want to preserve embryos, we can fertilize your eggs in our lab and store the resulting embryos for future transfer. This option may offer the highest success rates for pregnancy later.
Third-party reproduction
Some cancer survivors may need additional support to grow their family after treatment. We provide access to carefully screened egg and sperm donors, and gestational carriers, to help make parenthood possible when it’s safe to try.

Why oncofertility matters
Fertility preservation is a powerful way to hold on to hope during a challenging time—here’s why it matters now more than ever:
- 80,000 young adults (ages 20–39) are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year
- Many are just beginning to think about starting or expanding a family
- Advances in oncofertility make family-building after cancer possible
- We help preserve not just fertility—but hope, options and peace of mind
