Do you know the benefits of cryopreservation for oncology patients? A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming moment for anyone. Among the many decisions to be made, one of the most important is how to preserve fertility before undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Fertility preservation can have a profound impact on post-treatment quality of life, offering hope for starting a family once the disease has been overcome.
Cryopreservation is the process by which eggs or sperm are frozen for future use. For oncology patients, preserving fertility before beginning treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy is crucial since these treatments can damage the ovaries or testes, affecting the ability to produce viable eggs or sperm.
Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, but it can also affect reproductive cells, reducing the quantity and quality of gametes. Similarly, radiation therapy directed at the pelvic or abdominal area can cause irreversible damage to reproductive organs.
For young women diagnosed with cancer, egg cryopreservation offers the possibility of being biological mothers in the future, even if their ovaries are permanently damaged by treatment. This solution not only preserves reproductive ability but also the hope of building a family when they’re ready.
