- Abstract
As survival rates for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients improve, fertility preservation has gained increased attention. Many AYAs report significant concerns about fertility potential after therapy. Preservation at diagnosis may be the only opportunity for future genetic parenthood for many patients. Time constraints, concerns about treatment delays, and difficulty accessing resources are reported as reasons for providers not providing counseling. In addition, some pubertal males are unable/unwilling to produce a sample through self-stimulation. Testicular sperm aspiration/extraction with sperm cryopreservation can be successfully performed in "high-risk" pubertal males with significant barriers to traditional collection before initiation of emergent chemotherapy.
