Fertility preservation: Helping you plan for the future

Can my partner and I still start or build a family if I will be having cancer treatment? At UW Health Fertility Care, we offer patients several options to preserve fertility, including cryopresevation (freezing) of sperm or eggs for future use.

Cancer of the reproductive organs and surgical treatment for these cancers can lead to infertility. Fertility can be affected by other cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Your cancer care team will talk with you about how your specific cancer treatment might affect your fertility.  

UW Health Fertility Care can assist you and your cancer care team with fertility preservation options. Treatments we offer include:

Financial assistance

Your insurance might not cover cancer-related fertility care. UW Health Fertility Care partners with the Livestrong Foundation’s Livestrong Fertility Program to offer discounted fertility care options for men and women with cancer. 

The University of Wisconsin Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has also developed the Stork Fund. Donations to this fund will support couples and individuals who wish to pursue fertility preservation.

Top-ranked cancer care

Our team works hand-in-hand with experts at the UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Wisconsin.
