Ep. 16 | Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients
Manage episode 238750616 series 2503938
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can disrupt and even destroy a hopeful parent’s dream of starting or growing a family. Cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy, can have harmful impacts on a woman’s eggs and a man’s sperm. However, recent advances in fertility treatment have allowed cancer patients to preserve their fertility and have provided new hope where little existed before.
In this episode, Eve C. Feinberg, M.D., a reproductive endocrinologist and medical director of Northwestern Fertility and Reproductive Medicine, joins host Mark P. Trolice, M.D., to discuss the latest advances in preserving fertility among cancer patients and the factors involved in developing a fertility preservation treatment plan.
Tune in to discover:
- Why fertility preservation awareness is at an all-time high
- What patients can realistically expect with their fertility after cancer treatment
- When cancer patients should undergo fertility preservation
- The fertility implications of chemotherapy
- What the future holds for experimental and non-traditional methods of fertility preservation
