Testing how cancer treatments affect future fertility
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how treatments that can harm ovaries or testicles (like certain chemotherapy, radiation, and immune therapies) may affect fertility. It may help you and others by measuring hormone levels (and in some cases sperm) before and during/after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer or a non-cancer condition and are scheduled for treatment that targets the pelvic area or testicles.
- You may receive chemotherapy and/or radiation to the pelvis/testicles and/or immune therapy.
- You are within the allowed age range for your country (Austria/Switzerland 14–50; Germany 18–50).
- Before starting the gonadotoxic treatment, you can provide blood tests (for hormone levels).
- If you are male, you can also provide a sperm sample and blood tests before treatment.
- You can give consent and you can complete study visits in a language the study team supports.

This study looks at how cancer treatments affect fertility in people diagnosed between ages 15 and 39. It aims to understand the impact on fertility and the success of fertility preservation methods, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at how cancer treatments affect testicular function and fertility in young men who were diagnosed between ages 15 and 39. By collecting semen samples and medical information, the study aims to find ways to predict and prevent fertility problems, helping you make informed decisions about your fertility and family planning.
This study looks at whether a blood test (a hormone marker) can predict a child’s future risk of infertility after cancer treatment. If it works, it could help families and doctors plan earlier fertility and puberty-related care.
This trial compares two methods of preserving a woman's fertility before cancer treatment: freezing eggs alone versus freezing both eggs and ovarian tissue. The goal is to help women who may lose fertility due to chemotherapy or radiation keep their options open for having biological children in the future.
This study helps people with cancer preserve their fertility (ability to have biological children) before undergoing cancer treatment that could affect their eggs or sperm. The trial compares two different hormone-injection methods to prepare eggs for freezing.
This trial studies how doctors collect and freeze a small piece of testicle tissue from boys to protect future fertility before treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. It may help families preserve options for having children later if testicular function is permanently affected.
