A national cohort published in 2026 evaluates oncofertility care in young people with cancer who face a high risk of treatment-related gonadal damage.

The study includes 599 children and adolescents and describes assessment and care for the risk of treatment-induced gonadal insufficiency.

What it means for practice

Oncofertility requires early planning and coordination between oncology, paediatrics and reproductive medicine. Long-term follow-up matters because reproductive needs may emerge years after cancer treatment.
