Our multidisciplinary working group includes key stake holders at Magee-Womens Research Institute, Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. The program is committed to
- Educating patients and their physicians about the reproductive consequences of chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer or other conditions
- Providing state of the art reproductive technologies to preserve fertility for women, men, girls, and boys
- Responsibly translating new reproductive technologies from the laboratory to the clinic
We provide the following services for our patients:
