Fertility Preservation During Treatment Is a Growing Issue for Women.
- Authors
Rowan, Karen
- Abstract
The article reports on the findings of two surveys on the compliance of oncologists to referral guidelines issued by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The guidelines recommend oncologists to refer patients of childbearing age to a reproductive endocrinologist to discuss options for preserving fertility during treatment. Reasons as to why physicians are not referring patients as recommended are cited. A discussion on reproductive technologies is given.
