Oncofertility

Common cancer treatments that can cause infertility include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and certain surgeries. Fortunately, there are many options to help preserve fertility! By partnering with your oncology team, we can provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to identify what fertility preservation options are available based on the type of cancer treatment.

Common Fertility Preservation Options for Males:

• Sperm cryopreservation is a routine, highly reliable, and well-established approach for post-pubertal male patients.
• In post-pubertal cancer patients who cannot ejaculate, an office-based sperm extraction can be performed under local anesthesia.
• Microsurgical testicular sperm extraction can be carried out in post-pubertal males as young as 12 years of age who cannot produce a sample by masturbation.
