SEASON 7, EPISODE 2: Fertility- Professor Anderson, Elena and Aaron

In this episode Aaron and Elena, both medical students with a lived experience of cancer, sit down with Professor Richard Anderson, a leading expert in fertility preservation, to unpack how cancer treatments can impact future fertility for young people. Professor Anderson explains the differences between egg freezing, ovarian tissue freezing, and emerging approaches for pre‑pubertal boys, emphasising how decisions depend heavily on age, diagnosis, and treatment urgency.  The conversation also tackles the emotional weight of fertility discussions at diagnosis, the importance of accurate information, and the shift toward patient‑centred, routine fertility counselling in oncology.  RadioTherapy podcast is sponsored by the Beatson Cancer Charity Home | Beatson Cancer Charity and The National Lottery Community Fund Young Start programme, Young Start | The National Lottery Community Fund and is recorded by Go Radio in Glasgow Go Radio | 90's 00's & Now | Number 1 for Glasgow & The West (thisisgo.co.uk)   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiotherapypodcast    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/radiotherapypod    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/radio-therapy-podcast    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@radiotherapypodcast
