Patients undergoing cancer treatments that may affect fertility.
Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients (Oncofertility)
Oncofertility represents the set of procedures and therapeutic options dedicated to preserving fertility before starting cancer treatments. Certain therapies—such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgical interventions—may affect reproductive function, and preserving reproductive material allows patients to maintain the possibility of achieving a pregnancy afterward.
What is Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients (Oncofertility)?
Oncofertility refers to the assessment and application of procedures through which fertility can be protected prior to anticancer treatments. These procedures include oocyte cryopreservation, sperm cryopreservation, embryo cryopreservation, and, in certain cases, ovarian tissue preservation.
The process begins with a detailed discussion regarding the type of oncological treatment recommended and how it may influence reproductive function. Depending on the time available before therapy begins and the patient’s reproductive status, the most suitable preservation method is chosen.
Each option is tailored to the patient’s specific situation, enabling them to maintain the possibility of having a child after completing cancer treatment.
Who is Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients (Oncofertility) for?
Individuals diagnosed with cancer during their reproductive years, where treatment can be safely delayed to allow preservation of reproductive material.
Situations in which maintaining reproductive options after completing anticancer treatments is desired.

Once the oncology diagnosis is established, we meet as quickly as possible to discuss fertility preservation options. I analyse your medical situation and collaborate directly with the oncology team to identify the fastest and safest method of preservation, ensuring that cancer treatment can start without delay.
Depending on your sex and health status, the procedure may include:
• oocyte or embryo cryopreservation (with mild stimulation);
• sperm cryopreservation (same-day collection);
• ovarian tissue cryopreservation (surgical removal under anesthesia).
The reproductive material obtained is vitrified rapidly and stored under maximum safety conditions in our cryobank. It is preserved long term, and you have access to it at any moment once the oncology team confirms you may use it and you feel ready.
Once oncology treatment is completed and your treating physician confirms that conception is safe, I guide you in choosing the most suitable reproductive pathway — IVF, IUI, or other personalised options. All recommendations are adapted to your medical evolution and the pace at which you feel prepared.
