Temporal changes in the probability of live birth among female survivors of childhood cancer: A population-based Adult Life After Childhood Cancer in Scandinavia (ALiCCS) study in five nordic countries.

The purpose of this study was to compare the probability of giving birth to a liveborn child in female survivors of childhood cancer with that of women in the general population. Survivors of childhood cancer had a lower probability of live births than women in the general population, although survivors diagnosed after 1989 had a probability close to that of the general population. Continuing focus on how to preserve the potential for fertility among female patients with childhood cancer during treatment is important to increase their chances of having a child.
