Oncology Patients

Many of the current treatments available for oncology patients and patients with chronic illnesses today involve chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other therapies which can seriously affect reproductive health. SIMS IVF provides the National Oncology service for these patients to help them preserve their fertility. The technology required to successfully freeze human semen has been developed for many years and has proven to be particularly valuable in these cases.

Please note that is a consultant-led service only. Your Oncology Consultant or treating doctor must provide a referral letter/form confirming suitability for the programme and giving details of your clinical and social history.
