Abstract: Major improvements have been seen in oncofertility care over the last decade. Clinical ethics frameworks support new populations, including children, having access to novel fertility preservation techniques. Oncofertility consultation requires a multidisciplinary approach. Clinicians need to develop competencies in infertility risk-assessment, counseling regarding fertility preservation procedures and alternate family planning options, and managing individualised supportive care needs to minimize medical and psychological morbidity.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure Y.L.
