Oncofertility care evaluation of 599 children and adolescents with cancer and a high risk of treatment-induced gonadal damage: a national paediatric oncology cohort study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the quality of oncofertility care, specifically focusing on fertility counseling and preservation rates, for children and adolescents with cancer at high risk of treatment-induced gonadal damage. They found that 66.1% of the 599 identified patients received standardized oncofertility counseling, with 60.1% undergoing fertility preservation methods. The study highlights the need for improved counseling and preservation options for all high-risk patients to enhance long-term reproductive outcomes.
