How to meet the need for fertility preservation

Produced by AusDoc on behalf of COSA
In a well-attended presentation yesterday morning, fertility expert Associate Professor Kate Stern discussed the often unmet need to inform young patients with cancer about their fertility-preservation options.
Concerns included a lack of formal referral protocols, a lack of clinician awareness and geographical inequity.
Stern reminded her colleagues that preservation, where possible, should be offered before cancer treatment started.
