According to the National Cancer Institute, ∼300,000 children globally are diagnosed with cancer each year. Advancements in chemotherapy and radiotherapy have revolutionized cancer treatment and improved long-term survival. Although many survivors will remain in good health with disease-free prognoses, three fourths will experience short-term and long-term effects from treatment. The cancer care paradigm has now appropriately shifted to include quality of life in survivorship with fertility cited as one of the most important quality of life indicators by survivors. A comprehensive approach to fertility preservation in adolescents receiving cancer therapies is described in this chapter.
