Many pediatric cancer survivors wish to start families and have children of their own one day. But some cancer treatments can affect a child's fertility (ability to have future children). This is why it is important to think about your child's fertility before cancer treatment starts.
We understand that planning for your child's future after a cancer diagnosis is difficult. At Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, specialists in the Oncofertility Program are here to support you and your child. We work with you to create a personalized plan for your child's future.
Our Oncofertility Program brings together oncology (cancer) and fertility experts to help preserve your child's ability to have children in the future. The Oncofertility Program is a joint effort between specialists within Urology, Adolescent Gynecology and the Haley Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer. We are the only pediatric fertility preservation program in central Florida.
Cancer treatments that can affect a child's fertility include:

Our nurse navigator will discuss your options and help you find doctor referrals, financial assistance to pay for treatments and other resources.
