Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, 05/15/09
Klosky JL et al. - In a study to assess sperm cryopreservation among males newly diagnosed with cancer aged ≥13 yrs, it was shown that sperm banking is underutilized among adolescent males newly diagnosed with cancer, and that strategies to increase the engagement in this fertility preservation method are needed.
Methods- Attending oncologists assigned infertility risk (yes/no) to pts and reported whether their pts engaged in sperm cryopreservation.
- Only 28.1% of informed at-risk pts banked sperm.
- Utilization of sperm banking was significantly associated with a diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or non-CNS solid tumor diagnosis, higher socioeconomic status, and not being a member of an Evangelical religious group.
