Cancer and Fertility

Fertility is an important issue for cancer patients, but some may not know enough about their fertility health and options during treatment. Cancer patients of child-bearing age may face fertility issues and can benefit from seeing a reproductive endocrinologist.

The researchers found that those most likely to refer a patient were female physicians, physicians with favorable attitudes about fertility and those whose patients asked about referrals.

Advances in reproductive technology enable some cancer patients to preserve fertility before cancer treatment begins. In other cases, where fertility preservation is not viable, options are still available. Speak up and get the information you need.
