We at ReproTech are aware of the need for improved access to preserving fertility before cancer treatment and have long partnered with oncologists nationwide to provide an avenue of affordable and safe cryostorage for their patients’ reproductive specimens. Research shows that patients facing fertility-threatening treatments and thus at risk for infertility must be educated about the chances early in treatment planning.

ReproTech Responds to the Dobbs Decision that reverses Roe vs. Wade

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned federal protections for abortion in the Dobbs vs. Jackson decision that reversed Roe vs. Wade.
