TAILIEUCHUNG - FERTILITY ISSUES IN CHILDHOOD CANCER TREATMENT

Antioxidants are man-made or natural substances that may prevent or delay some types of cell damage. Diets high in vegetables and fruits, which are good sources of antioxidants, have been found to be healthy; however, research has not shown antioxidant supplements to be beneficial in preventing diseases. Examples of antioxidants include vitamins C and E, selenium, and carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. This fact sheet provides basic information about antioxidants, summarizes what the science says about antioxidants and health, and suggests sources for additional information | Fertility Issues in Childhood Cancer Treatment Information and Resources for our Families in the LPCH Pediatric Oncology Department Lucile Salter Packard Children s Hospital 725 Welch Rd.

Important contact information Page 2 Introduction After your child has been diagnosed with cancer survival is your first concern. While medical advances have helped most children survive cancer treatments for cancer may cause side effects. 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 main concern at the time of diagnosis there are ways to help protect their chances to have children in the future. It is important to check into these options before starting treatment. It is also important to be aware of the effects of cancer treatment on future child-bearing to know what to expect after completion of therapy. The goal of this booklet is to offer the most up-to-date information on both the infertility risk based on your child s disease and treatment as well as options to save fertility that are available at Lucile Salter Packard Children s Hospital and in the nearby area. We hope that the information in this booklet will help you to understand your child s risks and options so that you can make a decision that is best for your family. Please be sure to talk with your child s health care provider about any questions or concerns. Acknowledgements s FertileHope Stanford School of Medicine .
