The Institute for Fertility Preservation specializes in helping women, men and children overcome the complications of infertility associated with chemo and radiation therapy. In addition, patients with non-cancerous conditions (such as ovarian cysts, lupus, and Turner's Syndrome) will realize significant benefits from FP treatments.

IFP's expert team utilizes established and experimental procedures including egg and embryo freezing, ovarian stimulation techniques for breast and endometrial cancer patients, ovarian tissue harvesting, freezing and transplantation, laparoscopic ovarian transposition, and testicular freezing. IFP is led by Medical Director Kutluk Oktay, MD, a pioneer in fertility preservation who remains engaged in innovative research to find ways to preserve human fertility.
