Disparate Access to Fertility Preservation in Youth: A Call for Advocacy to Close the Gap

Technological advancement and accrual of evidence-based interventions have expanded fertility preservation (FP) options for those at-risk for iatrogenic infertility. We use the term “iatrogenic” infertility, that is infertility resulting from medical care, intentionally as it is inclusive of all pediatric and young adult patients who will receive therapies that threaten their future fertility. Increasingly, as technologies advance, FP procedures are becoming feasible in non-experimental settings for pre-and post-pubertal patients (Table 1).
