The preservation and restoration of fertility are key aspects for enhancing quality of life in cancer survivors. Cytotoxic agents and radiation can produce gonadal dysfunction in both men and women. Survival rates for cancers that occur before or during reproductive age have improved dramatically. Current fertility preservation options are available but limited in males and females. Referral to a reproductive endocrinologist around the time of diagnosis is important to optimize treatment options.
生育能力的保存和恢复是提高癌症幸存者生活质量的关键方面。细胞毒性药物和辐射可导致男性和女性的性腺功能障碍。发生在生殖年龄之前或期间的癌症患者生存率已显著提高。目前有一些生育力保存方法可供选择,但在男性和女性中都很有限。在诊断时转诊至生殖内分泌专家对于优化治疗方案很重要。
