From Hope to Responsibility: Hormone/Fertility Preservation for All Children Treated for Cancer

The attached video was presented at the opening meeting of the International Oncofertility Consortium Conference at Northwestern University, Chicago.  This video speaks to the critical role hormone/fertility preservation plays in the quality of life for children treated for cancer.  Dr. Woodruff’s powerful statement about the availability of hormone/fertility options for all individuals treated for cancer could not have been made ten years ago.  Hormone/fertility preservation for cancer survivors is no longer simply a “hope.”  It is a reality.  For this reason, PORF strongly believes that a fertility consultation must be the standard of care for all children diagnosed with cancer, regardless of age.
