ONCOFERTILITY IN ADULT MALES

Featuring: Robert E. Brannigan, MD

Episode Summary

Cancer and its treatments can affect fertility in a variety of ways, and recent advances in cancer detection and treatment have led to an increasing number of cancer survivors for whom future fertility is a primary concern. Oncofertility is the study of interactions between cancer, anti-cancer therapy, fertility and reproductive health. Fertility preservation aims to optimize fertility potential before initiation of gonadotoxic therapies.

Robert E. Brannigan, MD, chief of male reproductive medicine and men’s health in the Department of Urology, shares how he and his dedicated fertility preservation team at Northwestern Medicine optimize the utilization of fertility preservation in cancer patients. Dr. Brannigan discusses current available options and exciting future directions.
