Preserving fertility after cancer.
In this review, the reproductive impact of treatments for several common cancers and options to maintain fertility in women and men undergoing treatment for these cancers will be discussed. The options available to any particular cancer survivor will depend on her or his age at the time of diagnosis and treatment, cancer type and primary site, stage, and type of treatment.
