Protecting Fertility and Parenthood After Cancer
A cancer diagnosis can change everything in an instant. For many, one of the most difficult aspects is the uncertainty about the future, including the ability to have children. World Cancer Day serves as a reminder of the progress being made in cancer treatment and survivorship, as well as the importance of supporting those affected in every aspect of their journey, including fertility preservation and family-building after treatment.
At Cryoport Systems, we recognize that fertility preservation is an essential part of cancer care. Whether you’re freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos before undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, or pursuing IVF after cancer treatment, we provide the safest, most advanced transportation solutions to ensure your reproductive materials are protected every step of the way.
Why Fertility Preservation Matters on the Road to Remission
For many individuals facing cancer treatment, time is critical. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can all affect fertility, making fertility preservation an urgent decision before treatment begins. Thanks to advances in reproductive medicine, more people than ever are able to preserve their fertility before cancer treatment and later use those preserved eggs, sperm, or embryos to start a family.
Many cancer survivors also turn to IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART) after treatment, relying on the precious reproductive materials they stored before their diagnosis. In both cases, ensuring safe, stable, and expertly managed transport of these materials is critical to their viability and success.
Unparalleled Safety for Your Most Precious Materials
At Cryoport Systems, we apply the same rigorous standards used in cell and gene therapy logistics – where even the smallest variation can impact patient outcomes – to the transport of reproductive materials. With over two decades of experience in transporting sensitive materials, we’ve developed a system that eliminates risk at every stage of transport:
