For patients dealing with an indication of cancer, speaking with a fertility specialist quickly and cryopreserving eggs and sperm for future use is crucial. Usually cancer patients can be seen within 24-48 hours by one of our fertility specialist and their case expedited so both a fertility preservation cycle and subsequent cancer treatment can be completed in a timely manner.

If a patient is planning to undergo egg freezing for cancer treatment-related loss of fertility, it’s important to coordinate care with an oncologist as well as the RMA treatment team. In some cases, cancer treatment may need to be prioritized over fertility preservation.
