Toward a theoretical understanding of young female cancer survivors’ decision-making about family-building post-treatment

Purpose Family-building after gonadotoxic treatment often requires in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, or adoption, with associated challenges such as uncertain likelihood of success, high costs, and complicated laws regulating surrogacy and adoption. This study examined adolescent and young adult female (AYA-F) survivors’ experiences and decision-making related to family-building after cancer.
