Survivors were a median age of 37.8 years (range, 22.0\u201058.7 years) and were 28.4 years from their diagnosis (range, 21.4\u201039.2 years). Multivariable logistic regression evaluated factors associated with perceptions of risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 35.9% of the survivors (443 of 1233 survivors) reported perceptions of their risk of infertility that were discordant with their actual risk based on previous cancer treatment exposures. Discordant perceptions were equally common among men exposed to gonadotoxic therapies (36.3%; 311 of 857 men) and those with no history of gonadotoxic exposure (35.1%; 132 of 376 men). Survivors who fathered children (odds ratio [OR], 4.14; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.74\u20106.24), had no survivor\u2010focused health care (OR, 3.07; 95% CI, 1.57\u20105.99), were nonwhite (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.10\u20104.75), and were of lower income were more likely to report no increased risk of infertility after gonadotoxic treatment. Perceptions of increased risk of infertility among men with no history of gonadotoxic treatment were predicted by never having fathered a child (OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.17\u20103.03), recent participation in survivor\u2010focused health care (OR, 2.11;
