to Prepubertal Patients | | |
ReproTech is proud to welcome the Fertility Preservation Program of Pittsburgh to our Fertility Preservation Network. In coordination with the Center for Fertility & Reproductive Endocrinology at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC, the Program provides ovarian and testicular tissue cryopreservation, as well as semen, embryo and oocyte cryopreservation.
Testicular tissue cryopreservation (TTC) for prepubertal boys, offered under an IRB protocol at the Center, is the only fertility preservation option available for prepubertal boys with cancer. The Fertility Preservation Program of Pittsburgh, led by Kyle Orwig, PhD, is one of the few centers in the U.S. to offer this service.

Industry News | | |
A state appeals court recently reinstated a malpractice suit against an oncologist who failed to tell a leukemia patient that chemotherapy would cause infertility and that he could have banked his sperm before treatment began. A county judge erroneously dismissed the suit on summary judgment on the ground that the plaintiff was not alleging emotional distress. New Jersey has recognized disability and impairment as a separate cause of action for medical malpractice claims, the panel said.
