Oncofertility Services: Dana-Farber and Brigham and Women's
Cancer treatments (including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery) can affect the fertility of both women and men. Before starting cancer treatment, the impact of treatment on fertility must be discussed. A cancer diagnosis is a stressful time, and having to consider future fertility can add to this stress.
The Adult Fertility Preservation (Oncofertility) Program at Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center recognizes that fertility is an important issue related to long-term quality of life. We offer a wide variety of options for both males and females, and help patients navigate this important issue. The Oncofertility Program is part of Dana-Farber's Adult Survivorship Program.
We work closely with the patient's cancer team to ensure that fertility consultation and discussion of preservation options are integrated into the education of all newly diagnosed patients and that fertility preservation plans are in alignment with cancer treatment.
If you have questions about fertility and your cancer diagnosis or treatment, your oncology provider can refer you to our fertility counselor, Abby Ciampa, NP. If you need further assistance after receiving your fertility counseling, Abby will connect you with Brigham and Women's Reproductive Endocrinology Program.
