Fertility Preservation & Oncofertility Services

Chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and other cancer treatment jeopardize a person’s ability to bear children. Some treatments for cancer can take years to complete, further complicating the reproductive window.

Other treatments induce premature menopause in females or stop the production of testosterone in males, further compromising bone health, mental health, cardiovascular health, growth in children and adolescents, to name a few.

The field of oncofertility is a complex one and straddles the fence of both oncology and reproductive endocrinology. With a thorough oncofertility consultation, Dr. Kondapalli will craft a short-term and long-term reproductive plan to ensure you maintain your quality of life through cancer treatment and beyond.

Dr. Kondapalli sees patients prior to treatment and after treatment for the following: 

• Cancer risk reduction (ie prophylactic removal of ovaries)
• Contraception
• Fertility Preservation
  • Egg Freezing
  • Embryo Freezing
  • Ovarian Tissue Freezing
  • Ovarian Transposition
  • Sperm Freezing
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
• In Vitro Fertilization
• Oncofertility Consultation
• Ovarian Reserve Testing
• Preconception Counseling
• Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for single gene mutations (ie BRCA)
• Psychosocial services through licensed clinical psychologists
• Pubertal Transition
• Sexual Functioning
• Third Party Reproduction (Surrogacy, Egg, Sperm or Embryo Donation)

The fields of oncofertility and fertility preservation are developing; as such, many insurance companies don’t cover these types of services yet. We do what we can to help you navigate through insurance coverage.
