Onco-Fertility: Preserving Fertility Before Cancer Treatment

What is Onco-Fertility?

Onco-fertility is an interdisciplinary field of medicine that focuses on fertility preservation options for individuals who are facing cancer treatment or other medical conditions that may impact their fertility.

Fertility Preservation Options

There are several fertility preservation options available for individuals facing cancer treatment, including:

• Oocyte Cryopreservation (Egg Freezing)
• Sperm Cryopreservation (Sperm Freezing)
• Embryo Cryopreservation
• Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation
• GnRH Agonist Treatment

Each option has its own benefits and limitations, and the choice of which option to pursue depends on various factors such as age, gender, cancer type, and treatment plan.

Onco-Fertility and Ethics

Onco-fertility raises ethical considerations such as informed consent, the allocation of resources, and the potential risks and benefits of fertility preservation. It is important for healthcare providers to discuss these issues with patients and provide them with all the necessary information to make informed decisions about their care.

Conclusion

Onco-fertility is a rapidly growing field that offers hope to individuals facing cancer treatment or other medical conditions that may affect their fertility. With the help of fertility preservation options, they can take control of their reproductive health and plan for a future where they can start a family.
