Preserving Possibilities: Fertility and Pediatric Oncology
Monday, 6 April, 2026
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jennie Yoost, Professor of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology at Marshall University. Together, we explore fertility preservation and treatment options for children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment. Dr. Yoost shares why early conversations about fertility and reproductive health matter, the options available to young patients and their families, and the role parents and guardians play in decision-making. The discussion also addresses common barriers to accessing fertility preservation services, such as insurance coverage, financial considerations, and limitations specific to West Virginia, while highlighting how science continues to evolve to expand care. This thoughtful and informative episode offers practical guidance, reassurance, and hope to families navigating cancer treatment. https://wvumedicine.org/ruby-memorial-hospital/services/wvu-specialty-clinics/obstetrics-and-gyneco… https://oncofertility.msu.edu/ https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-25-00223 https://www.cancerhelpwv.org/ https://wvmountainsofhope.org/ https://www.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/side-effects/fertility/preserving-fertility-in-childr…
