Summary
This study collects and freezes testicular tissue from prepubertal boys who are about to receive cancer treatment that is very likely to cause infertility. The tissue is stored for possible future use to restore fertility, and a portion is used for research to understand how sperm cells develop. The goal is to give these boys a chance to have biological children when they grow up.
