Reproductive medicine in a late effects of cancer clinic.
This review discusses the most commonly observed problems in young people who have survived childhood cancer, with particular emphasis on the issues of fertility. It also describes the role of the late effects clinic in transitional care and the multidisciplinarity of the clinicians required to meet the needs of these young people. There is a need for evidence-based guidelines for management of long-term survivors.
