Pediatric cancer treatment can affect fertility. For many patients receiving cancer treatment, decrease or loss of reproductive function is temporary. But some patients do not regain this function. Before the start of patient therapy, thought must be given to whether a childs fertility is likely to be impacted by treatment. As treatments for childhood cancers have improved, more survivors are entering their reproductive years, and are thinking about starting families of their own. The Fertility Preservation Team at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center recognizes that fertility is an extremely important issue related to long-term quality of life. We offer a wide variety of options to patients and families.

Boston Children's in Boston, MA has always embodied a culture of innovation and scientific discovery, with the goal of improving the lives of children and families. This legacy continues today as we lead the world in pediatric research, empowering our clinicians and scientists to challenge the status quo and seek better answers for children everywhere.
