- Fertility Issues in Childhood Cancer Treatment (PDF)
Infertility, or the inability to have children, is a side effect of some cancer therapies. Even though your child's future fertility may not be a concern at this time, there are ways to help protect their chances to have children in the future. This booklet provides information on infertility risks for different diseases and treatments and options to help save fertility that are available at LPCH and the surrounding area.
