Sex Differences in Fertility-Related Information Received by Young Adult Cancer Survivors [Treatment-Related Complications]:

Purpose
The aim was to investigate male and female cancer survivors' perception of fertility-related information and use of fertility preservation (FP) in connection with cancer treatment during reproductive age.
