Scientific and technological advances in the diagnosis of neoplastic disease and the introduction of increasingly accurate and personalized anti-cancer treatments have significantly improved the chances of survival of most cancer patients, particularly at a young age. Since the interest of the research community in the life prospects of young cancer survivors has been growing, a new branch of medicine has emerged in recent years that reconciles the potentially gonadotoxic treatments of cancer with the preservation of fertility: oncofertility. The possibility of preserving one's fertility can be of great benefit for the psychological well-being of cancer patients, whose mental health is already severely tested by the cancer diagnosis. Although national and international guidelines urge doctors to start early a discussion on fertility conservation issues (reproductive counseling), still little is known as to the awareness of oncofertility by young cancer survivors and the information they receive about it. |
