What is Cancer IVF?

Cancer IVF refers to the baby obtained by cryopreservation of cancer patient's germ cells (eggs or sperm) or early embryos before transfer through assisted reproductive technology (ART), and in vitro fertilization or transplantation after the patient completes chemotherapy or surgical treatment. This technology preserves the opportunity for cancer patients to have children, while avoiding the damage to fertility caused by chemotherapy or surgery.

What is the age limit?

The age limit of cancer IVF refers to the age limit of cancer patients when performing cryopreservation and transplantation related operations. The basis of age limit mainly considers the patient's reproductive capacity retention and safety factors, which limits the patients within a specific age range to accept this technology.

Related factors of age limit

1. Reproductive capacity retention: Cryopreservation and transplantation technology requires high quality eggs and embryos, and usually requires patients to have good fertility before freezing. Therefore, generally speaking, the age limit of cancer IVF is within 40 years old.

2. Patient's physical condition: Because cryopreservation and transplantation operations take a period of time, the patient's physical condition greatly affects the results of surgery. Young patients are in relatively good physical condition, which is often more favorable for surgical operation, so the age limit is generally within 45 years old.

3. Birth risk: The risk of women suffering from some basic diseases or fertility related complications will increase with age, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These diseases will affect the development of embryos and the health of infants, so doctors need to consider the patient's physical condition comprehensively when considering the age limit.

conclusion

In conclusion, the age limit of cancer IVF mainly considers the retention of reproductive capacity and safety factors. Generally speaking, the age limit is between 40 and 45 years old, but the specific limit range depends on the patient's physical condition. Cancer IVF has reserved the opportunity for cancer patients to have children. At the same time, it also reminds people to consult doctors in time when facing cancer treatment to understand relevant fertility retention measures, so as to make appropriate decisions as soon as possible.
