Despite the existence broad international guidelines, delivery oncofertility care, particularly amongst paediatric, adolescent and young adult patients, remains a challenge healthcare professionals (HCPs). The care variable uptake utilization FP low. Available guidelines fall short in providing adequate detail on how models (MOC) allow real-world application by HCPs.
Fertility preservation in the cancer setting, known as oncofertility, is a field that requires cross-disciplinary interaction between physicians, basic scientists, clinical researchers, ethicists, lawyers, educators, and religious leaders. Funded by National Institutes of Health, Oncofertility Consortium (OC) was formed to be scientifically grounded, transparent, altruistic resource, both intellectual monetary, for building this new practice capable addressing unique needs young patients...
