Chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer and other conditions can damage fertility and reduce or eliminate a patient’s ability to have children in the future. The good news is that improved treatments have dramatically increased cancer survival rates. Therefore, issues affecting quality of life after cure (including fertility) are increasingly important to survivors. Age, genetics, surgery, injury, gender affirming treatments and other factors can also impact fertility. The Fertility Preservation Program in Pittsburgh can help.
