This is an interesting article. Typically when someone is diagnosed with cancers the doctors first concerned is not usually preserving the patience fertility. Since cancer treatment usually includes radiation and chemotherapy these treatments can permanently damage the sex cells needed to produce an offspring. Doctors usually treat the cancer as an emergency and focus on getting rid of it no matter the consequence.
Some doctors are concerned especially for the children that are diagnosed with cancer. Their life after cancer could be pretty bleak. Since the survival rate of kids diagnosed with Cancer is about 80.
One option this article mentioned for females diagnosed with cancer is to remove the eggs from the female patients and then insert them back in when the females are ready to have children again.
