Cancer survivorship has been acknowledged as one of the major public health concerns, and this can be attributed to the progress made in the domain of early detection and a wide range of therapeutic options. Cancer treatments, in the form of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, can result in a wide range of consequences on the reproductive health of the survivors. Regardless of the documented consequences of cancer treatment on reproductive health, many oncologists and healthcare professionals lack adequate knowledge or competence to discuss fertility risks and prevention approaches with patients. Multiple fertility options can be advised for cancer survivors depending on their age, gender, attainment of puberty, etc. In conclusion, a significant impairment of fertility and reproductive health has been acknowledged among cancer survivors. However, considering the presence of multiple challenges, there is an immense need to integrate fertility preservation into survivorship care, which is inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the needs of survivors.
