Fertility Preservation in Cancer Patients

Fertility preservation in cancer patients is a critical aspect of their overall treatment plan. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can have detrimental effects on fertility, leading to potential infertility or reduced reproductive function. Therefore, preserving fertility before initiating cancer treatment is essential for patients who wish to have children in the future. Techniques such as sperm banking for men and oocyte or embryo cryopreservation for women are commonly used to preserve fertility.
