Fertility preservation before cancer treatment

Certain cancer treatments may affect future fertility. Paladien provides a private, clinically guided option for preserving reproductive potential before treatment begins.

Who may consider fertility preservation

This page provides general information only. Individual recommendations depend on diagnosis, timing, and clinical considerations.

Fertility preservation may be considered for individuals of different ages and circumstances, including:

Adolescents or young adults diagnosed with cancer

Pediatric patients, with decisions made by parents or guardians in coordination with care teams

Adults facing treatments known to affect reproductive function

Individuals undergoing medical treatments similar to cancer therapies that may impact fertility

Why consider fertility preservation before treatment

Cancer treatment plans often prioritize speed and effectiveness. Depending on the diagnosis and therapy, treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery may affect reproductive potential.

For patients who wish to preserve future options, fertility preservation may be considered before treatment begins, when time and circumstances allow.

This decision is highly personal and should be discussed with a care team that understands your overall treatment plan.

How Paladien supports patients and care teams

Paladien is designed to work alongside oncology and fertility specialists, not in place of them.

Our role is to provide:
• Private sperm collection where clinically appropriate
• Licensed laboratory processing and cryopreservation
• Secure, long-term storage with documented handling
• Clear communication and coordination when time is limited

Paladien does not provide cancer treatment or medical decision-making. All care decisions should be guided by the patient’s oncology and fertility care teams.

Timing and coordination matter

In cancer care, timing can be critical. When fertility preservation is considered, coordination between patients, families, and care teams is essential.

Paladien can assist with rapid coordination and clear next steps when preservation is appropriate and time allows. We encourage patients and families to discuss fertility preservation early with their care team.

Privacy and long-term stewardship

Samples preserved through Paladien are stored for private, personal use only. Paladien is not a public sperm bank and does not operate donor programs.

Our systems and processes are designed around privacy, documentation, and long-term stewardship. Additional details are available on our Security and Stewardship page.

What it costs

In some circumstances, special arrangements may be available for patients facing cancer treatment between Paladien and your care team. These options are not listed publicly and depend on individual circumstances and timing.

Paladien maintains relationships with many non-profits that offer grants to cancer patients requiring fertility preservation.

Paladien also offers discounted kits and storage for cancer patients.
