When and why did you …
Nowadays, most children with cancer survive, but many experience long-term effects from their cancer treatment. Treatments like conditioning therapy for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, high cumulative doses of alkylating agents and radiation can damage the gonads, leading to problems such as infertility and delayed puberty in males. Identifying and addressing these issues in follow-up care …
