October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we’re shedding light on oncofertility, the intersection of cancer, cancer treatment, and fertility.
A cancer diagnosis can be terrifying, and often decisions need to be made quickly. One of those decisions may be around whether or not to pursue fertility preservation before cancer treatment starts since some treatment may leave a patient infertile. Oncofertility gives a patient the opportunity to focus on life after cancer.
Although oncofertility is a groundbreaking practice, there are still questions and misconceptions. Today, we have Dr. Wael Salem of CCRM San Francisco to help break it down.
