New York, NY - Cancer treatments, like radiation or chemotherapy can affect a person's ability to have children.

Now there's a way to help young men preserve their fertility.

As couples plan for their future, some doctors of male cancer patients encourage them to look into sperm banking before starting cancer treatment.

Chemotherapy and radiation can damage the future fertility of both adults and kids.

For male patients, oncologists have a new kit called "Live On" that may help them embrace the idea.

For more information go to www.liveonkit.com or call (800) 466-2796.  Information is also available from Fertile Hope at www.fertilehope.org.
