Improvements in cancer treatment have changed the way in which cancer is viewed and experienced. However, these same treatments have led to numerous early and late effects, including the loss of fertility. Infertility can influence the biologic and psychologic health of both male and female survivors. Reproductive science can now offer methods to address this concern and provide promising new approaches that may eliminate or mitigate this treatment-related outcome. For current and future reproductive options to serve the needs of survivors more fully, health providers must understand the complexities of infertility as well as their role in delivering answers their patients require. This review will discuss what is known about the causes and experience of infertility among cancer survivors as well as the forms of fertility preservation available.
癌症治疗的改进改变了人们看待和体验癌症的方式。然而，这些治疗也导致了许多早期和晚期影响，包括生育能力丧失。不孕会影响男性和女性幸存者的生理和心理健康。生殖科学现在可以提供方法来解决这一问题，并提供有前景的新方法，可能消除或减轻这种与治疗相关的后果。为了使当前和未来的生殖选择能更充分地满足幸存者的需求，医疗服务提供者必须了解不孕的复杂性以及他们在为患者提供所需答案方面的作用。本综述将讨论关于癌症幸存者不孕的原因和经历以及可用的生育力保存形式的已知情况。
