Chemotherapeutic treatments and radiotherapy can affect male and female fertility causing both temporary and permanent infertility. Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index Cancer and fertility 1. Effects of oncological treatment on fertility 2. Preservation of fertility The effect is different depending on the treatment received and other factors such as the type of cancer, where it is located, age, general health and response to treatment.

Radiation therapy treatment for cancer Radiation treatments use high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and high doses of radiation kill the sperm-producing stem cells. Permanent infertility can arise if all the spermatogonial stem cells (the immature cells in the testicles that divide to p...
