paywalled: Sex Differences in Fertility-Related Information Received by Young Adult Cancer Survivors (ages 18-45 yrs/includes ovarian cancer))



Sex Differences in Fertility-Related Information Received by Young Adult Cancer Survivors [Treatment-Related Complications]:

Purpose
The aim was to investigate male and female cancer survivors' perception of fertility-related information and use of fertility preservation (FP) in connection with cancer treatment during reproductive age.

Conclusion
Our results show marked sex differences regarding the receipt of fertility-related information and use of FP. There is an urgent need to develop fertility-related information adapted to female patients with cancer to improve their opportunities to participate in informed decisions regarding their treatment and future reproductive ability.
