Abstract
Recent advances in pediatric cancer treatment have improved disease control and survival outcomes for childhood cancers survivors, including those treated for primary central nervous system and skull base malignancies. Future research in this population will focus on identifying risk factors for infertility, novel screening techniques and recommendations, and quality-of-life outcomes improvement. The purpose of this review is to define the infertility complications observed in pediatric cancer survivors who receive cranial irradiation for central nervous system and skull base malignancies.
