Inequalities in Fertility‐Impacting Cancer Incidence Among Young Populations in the United States
The burden of fertility-impacting cancers is unequal across sex and race/ethnic groups. The sociodemographic patterns observed in fertility-impacting cancers differ substantively from cancers that were not identified as fertility-impacting. The findings reinforce the importance of screening for fertility-impacting cancers and identify a potential unmet need for both fertility preservation referrals among cancer patients and access to fertility treatment for survivors of cancer.
