Abstract
Due to remarkable advances in the treatment of childhood cancer, we have seen great improvements in life expec- tancy, with up to 80% of children surviving their disease, resulting in a growing population of adult long-term survivors of childhood malignancies. Although oncological treatments are highly effective, a major concern is their adverse impact on fertility. In this review we will summarize the lite- rature regarding sperm cryopreservation in cancer patients.
