What are the common questions most men ask after a cancer diagnosis?

There are a lot of frequently asked questions that patients pose to us after they’ve been diagnosed with cancer. Acutely, at the time of their diagnosis, it’s very interesting. And while patients are indeed focused on their cancer, we find—and this has been born out of many studies—that patients really, really want to do all they can to preserve their ability to have biological children in the future. That is clearly born out by not only studies but our everyday clinical experiences. And so the good news is that we can, in most instances, help these individuals preserve their fertility potential. What about down the road after a patient has undergone his therapy and come to us wondering, well, where do I stand now. And patients often wonder, will I have a child who will then subsequently have birth defects or other congenital abnormalities due to the cancer therapy I’ve previously had. And the good news is there are several studies that show that patients who have had a history cancer therapy are not at increased risk for having offspring or children who have congenital abnormalities or birth defects as a result of their cancer therapy.
