ABSTRACT
When you go in search of honey, you must expect to be stung by bees.

Most children and young adults treated for cancer can expect to be cured. In fact, 70% of children with cancer survive their malignancies, in large part because of major advances in the field of oncology during the 1970s (1). Thus, clinical attention has begun to shift away from the problem of cure and toward refinements in the quality of life among cancer survivors. Fertility is certainly one quality-of-life issue very commonly affected by cancer treatment, and one that may have significant psychological consequences in adulthood.
