There are many young women whose fertility may be threatened by cancer or other serious diseases and the treatment for these conditions.

Medical fertility preservation aims to protect and preserve fertility for the future using various treatment options. For women, these can range from freezing of eggs, embryos and ovarian tissue, as well as medications which may protect the ovaries from chemotherapy. For some young women and their families, it may not be suitable to pursue fertility options prior to cancer treatment. Though having the opportunity for discussion about your future fertility may be helpful.
