Abstract
For cancer survivors, social parenthood buffers distress and improves quality of life. It is important that physicians dealing with treatment of malignancies are aware of this patient perspective. This review deals with risks of infertility with hematological malignancies and chemotherapy, modes of fertility preservation interventions, time and barriers to referral to specialists offering these interventions. This review aims to guide the hemato-oncologist to make an informed decision with the patient and the partner about fertility preservation at the right time.Entities:
