Summary

This trial is testing whether having a guided conversation about fertility preservation with an expert increases the rates of fertility preservation and/or satisfaction with the decision among adolescent and young adult males with cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for young males aged 12-25 with a new cancer diagnosis who are about to start treatment that could affect fertility. They must understand English and be at a certain stage of puberty to bank sperm. It's not for those with cognitive issues or non-English speaking parents.

What is being tested?

The study tests if a special tool and conversation about sperm banking before cancer treatment can help increase the number of young men preserving their fertility and improve satisfaction with their decision, compared to just getting routine fertility advice.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves discussions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological impacts from conversations about fertility preservation.
