Fertility Help Not Equal for Cancer Patients - in OB/Gyn, Infertility from MedPage Today
Action Points
- Note that in a retrospective study of women diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 18 and 40 years and treated with modalities with potential to affect fertility, women who had not attained a bachelor's degree were less likely to be counseled about fertility preservation.
- Note that counseling on and use of preservation services appeared to increase over time, although, as recently as 2007, nearly 40% of patients were not offered such counseling.
