One of the side effects of past cancer treatment can be permanent infertility. Therefore Any patient of childbearing age about to embark on anticancer treatment should be informed by her oncologist about her options for safeguarding her fertility.
Although modern medicine offers a number of possibilities for cancer patients to have offspringMany young women with cancer lose it irretrievably and never become mothers because of a lack of accurate information and timely consultation.
This topic is safeguarding fertility in female cancer patients, dedicated to the first Warsaw Genomics Academy webinar for doctors, held on 23 June this year. The meeting was attended by Joanna Kufel-Grabowska, MD, PhD, medical oncologist at the Poznań University Hospital, Professor Robert Spaczyński, MD, national consultant in gynaecological endocrinology and reproductive medicine, and Anna Wójcicka, MD, co-founder of Warsaw Genomics. Partners of the event were the Polish Breast Cancer Research Society and the Polish League Against Cancer.
