Résumé
Childhood cancer is relatively rare, and nowadays it is curable in more than 80% of children. Childhood cancer therapy is directed not only at improving survival but recently, we also concentrate on reducing late effects. We want children who have a diagnosis of cancer to survive and have an excellent quality of life. Gynecomastia and fertility outcome of the survivors of childhood malignancies should be considered in the follow-up of teen agers and young adults and should be approached in an accurate manner and managed in comprehensive teams.
