Post-treatment fertility emerges as an important issue in the early counseling of individuals with cancer, since survivors may have their quality of life affected by the occurrence of functional failure of the gonads because of antineoplastic therapies. In the context, oncofertility has been developed as an interdisciplinary field of study that combines expertise in reproductive medicine and oncology, to provide strategies aiming to maintain the possibility of future procreation. Today, we have many options and techniques available for the preservation of gametes in men and women. Some of them are already considered well established and used in routine, but ethical and moral issues on the subject still need to be debated.
治疗后生育能力成为癌症患者早期咨询中的一个重要问题，因为幸存者的生活质量可能会因抗肿瘤治疗导致性腺功能衰竭的发生而受到影响。在此背景下，肿瘤生育学已发展成为一个跨学科研究领域，它结合了生殖医学和肿瘤学方面的专业知识，以提供旨在维持未来生育可能性的策略。如今，我们有许多可供选择的方法和技术来保存男性和女性的配子。其中一些方法已被认为是成熟的并用于常规操作，但关于这个主题的伦理和道德问题仍需讨论。
