Fathering children and cancer treatment

Some cancer treatments can cause men to become unable to father a child (infertile). If you think you might want to have a child some day, talk to your doctor before starting treatment. One option may be to bank (save and preserve) your sperm. (See our document, Fertility and Cancer: What Are My Options? for more details.) Check out a sperm bank about the costs and how it’s done.
