Preserving fertility is a significant concern for women undergoing treatment for cancer, and for many the psychological and quality of life impact of cancer-related infertility is a great burden. Obstetrician/Gynecologists can play an important role in informing women of options that may help preserve the possibility of building a family. They, together with their colleagues in reproductive medicine and in oncology, can collaboratively educate patients facing treatment for cancer about options for fertility preservation. Join us as our panel discusses a woman's fertility preservation options when facing a diagnosis of cancer and subsequent treatment. 0.25 CME Credits
