Cancer

Therapeutic advances in recent years have significantly improved the survival of cancer patients. Nowadays, a high percentage of tumours can be treated successfully as well as providing increased life expectancy.
However, cancer treatments can impair fertility significantly.

The risk of infertility after cancer treatment varies depending on several factors, such as the type of cancer, the treatment received (chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery) and the age of the patient.

For this reason, it is recommended to consider fertility preservation options before starting cancer treatment.

At HC Fertility we offer the possibility of fertility preservation for both women and men.

• In the case of women, the most common method consists of vitrification (freezing) of oocytes.

• In the case of men, it consists of freezing a semen sample for future use.
