Semen, Embryo
& Egg Depository & Storage (SEEDS®)
When facing a cancer diagnosis, it is difficult
for a patient to think of anything beyond treatment and survival.
But more and more, men and women are realizing that there is
another factor to consider: their fertility.
Whether or not the cancer affects the reproductive system
directly (such as cervical or testicular cancer), radiation
and chemotherapy treatments can have serious consequences
on future fertility. DVIF&G's team of experts consults
with your oncologist and carefully crafts a plan to
maintain your "link
to life"
by insuring your reproductive possibilities through our
SEEDS program.
By working closely with your oncology team
to determine specific fertility risks, DVIF&G coordinates the
extraction and preservation of oocytes, sperm, and/or embryos,
enabling you to concentrate on your wellness without having
to worry about giving up your fertility future.

Research thus far is reassuring, but the number of pregnancies
and births studied after cancer treatment is still small. Please
consult with your oncology team when considering conception
and pregnancy after cancer.
DVIF&G is affiliated with Fertile
Hope, a national, nonprofit
organization dedicated to providing reproductive information,
support and hope to cancer patients and survivors whose medical
treatments present the risk of infertility. |
