Infertility in Females01:28

Infertility in Females

Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.
Endometriosis, a condition characterized by abnormal growth of endometrial...
Infertility in Males01:23

Infertility in Males

Male infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, arising from various factors that impact different stages of the reproductive process. An endocrine imbalance resulting from conditions like hypogonadism, Klinefelter syndrome, or pituitary disorders can disrupt hormone levels and reduce sperm production. Testicular defects, such as tumors, cryptorchidism, atrophic testes, abnormal sperm morphology, and low sperm count or motility, may arise due to genetic factors, structural...
Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Summary

Oncology providers may overestimate their fertility preservation (FP) knowledge, leading to inconsistent counseling for young cancer patients. Improved training and clearer protocols are needed to ensure guideline-concordant FP care.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Health

Background:

  • Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer face risks of treatment-related infertility.
  • Gaps in fertility preservation (FP) counseling persist, with limited understanding of provider-level barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate oncology providers' perceived versus demonstrated knowledge of FP guidelines.
  • To identify barriers to providing comprehensive oncofertility care for AYAs.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey of oncology providers at an academic medical center.
  • Assessment of provider demographics, training, counseling/referral practices, and perceived barriers.
  • Comparison of self-rated FP knowledge with performance on guideline-based clinical vignettes.

Main Results:

  • Providers reported limited formal oncofertility training and variable knowledge across FP strategies.
  • A trend towards discordance between perceived and demonstrated FP knowledge was noted.
  • Limited awareness of institutional FP resources and frequent citation of patient-level barriers were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Oncology providers may overestimate their oncofertility knowledge, impacting FP counseling consistency.
  • Gaps in training and awareness necessitate competency-based education and improved institutional support.
  • Objective assessments are crucial for identifying knowledge gaps and guiding interventions for guideline-concordant FP care.
