If you are planning to begin cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation, or another medical treatment that could potentially harm your reproductive system, you may want to consider medical fertility preservation. Oncofertility is the process of preserving fertility prior to medical treatments that could potentially harm your current fertility level.
Fertility preservation can also be used preemptively if there is a family or personal history of cancer (especially ovarian cancer) or the presence of other high-risk conditions, such as endometriosis or a family history of premature menopause. Our team will work with you and your oncology/medical team to preserve your current fertility as expeditiously as possible prior to beginning cancer treatment. Due to the time-sensitive nature of cancer treatment, oncofertility appointments at AFMC can often be scheduled same-day or next-day.
