Protecting Fertility
Before Cancer Treatment.

When a cancer diagnosis strikes, treatment must begin urgently — but chemotherapy and radiation can permanently destroy the ovarian follicle pool. Dr. Adnan Jabbar provides emergency fertility preservation services in Lahore, ensuring that a woman's future motherhood is safeguarded before oncology treatment begins. Every hour counts.

Oncofertility and Ovarian Tissue Preservation in Lahore

Time-Critical

Emergency egg freezing can be completed in as little as 2 weeks — fast enough to start before most chemotherapy protocols.

Why Oncofertility Matters

Modern cancer treatment has dramatically improved survival rates. But for young women, the price of survival often includes permanent ovarian failure. Oncofertility is the discipline of preserving reproductive potential before gonadotoxic treatment begins.

The Gonadotoxic Threat

  • Alkylating agents (Cyclophosphamide, Busulfan) — destroy primordial follicles irreversibly
  • Pelvic radiation — even scatter doses damage ovarian tissue permanently
  • Total body irradiation — for bone marrow transplant causes near-certain POF
  • Some biologics & targeted therapies — also carry reproductive risks

The Window of Opportunity

Between diagnosis and starting chemotherapy, there is typically a 2-6 week window. Dr. Adnan Jabbar's clinic in Lahore offers emergency fertility preservation protocols that can be initiated within 24-48 hours of referral.

ASCO & ESMO Guidelines: All cancer patients of reproductive age should be counseled about fertility preservation options BEFORE starting gonadotoxic treatment.

Preservation Options Available in Lahore

Dr. Adnan Jabbar provides the full spectrum of oncofertility services.

1

Emergency Egg Freezing

Rapid ovarian stimulation (random-start protocol) followed by egg retrieval and vitrification. Can be completed in 10-14 days. The gold standard for post-pubertal women.

2

Embryo Freezing

For women with a partner, fertilized embryos can be frozen via IVF/ICSI. Embryo survival rates post-thaw exceed 95% with modern vitrification technology.

3

Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation

For pre-pubertal girls or when there is no time for stimulation — a strip of ovarian cortex (containing thousands of primordial follicles) is laparoscopically removed and frozen. It can be re-transplanted after cancer remission.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fertility Preservation Before Cancer Treatment

Will egg freezing delay my cancer treatment?

With modern random-start stimulation protocols, egg retrieval can be completed in 10-14 days — well within the typical pre-treatment window for most cancers. Dr. Adnan Jabbar coordinates directly with your oncologist to ensure zero delay.

Can ovarian tissue be successfully re-transplanted?

Yes. Over 200 live births have been reported globally from ovarian tissue re-transplantation. The frozen cortical strips are grafted back onto the ovary or peritoneal surface after cancer remission, and in many cases, menstrual cycles and even natural fertility resume within months.

Is fertility preservation available for pre-pubertal girls?

Yes — ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the only option for pre-pubertal girls since egg freezing requires hormonal stimulation. A small ovarian cortex strip is removed laparoscopically and frozen, preserving thousands of primordial follicles for future use.
