About

She graduated from the University of Michigan School of Medicine, completed her OB/GYN residency at New York Presbyterian Columbia Campus, and finished her REI fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), combining top-tier clinical and research training.

She understands the urgency of cancer care and works closely with oncology teams to ensure fertility preservation is completed before treatment starts.

Clinical Expertise

• Oncofertility (Cancer-Related Fertility Preservation): Rapid fertility preservation assessment and planning — egg freezing, embryo freezing — completed before chemotherapy or radiation begins.
• Fertility Preservation Counseling: Prospective preservation advice for patients with endometriosis, autoimmune conditions, or other conditions that may affect future fertility.
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Full-cycle management, with particular expertise in individualized IVF protocols for cancer patients.

Why Choose Dr. Yu

Dr. Yu is one of the core specialists in oncofertility at the Stanford center. Because cancer treatment can severely damage ovarian function, completing egg or embryo freezing quickly before chemotherapy or radiation is a critical window — and managing that window is her specialty.

Her NIH fellowship background reflects rigorous research training, enabling her to incorporate the latest evidence into clinical decisions. She also understands the emotional stress of cancer patients and prioritizes empathetic, clear path planning in her consultations.
