A total of 41 questionnaires were returned from 64 respondents who consented to receive a questionnaire through the mail. Almost all valued the opportunity to receive consultation to address their fertility concerns and discuss fertility preservation options. Psychological stress, time pressure, and costs were identified as main factors affecting respondents' decision to proceed with in-vitro fertilization to cryopreserve oocytes or embryos. About one third indicated that the discussion of fertility matters was initiated by themselves, their friends, and families rather than their health care providers. The findings have identified several major barriers encountered by female cancer patients when seeking fertility preservation services.
共收到 64 名同意通过邮件接收问卷的受访者中的 41 份问卷。几乎所有人都非常重视获得咨询的机会，以解决他们的生育问题并讨论生育力保存方案。心理压力、时间压力和费用被确定为影响受访者决定进行体外受精以冷冻保存卵母细胞或胚胎的主要因素。约三分之一的受访者表示，生育问题的讨论是由他们自己、他们的朋友和家人而不是他们的医疗保健提供者发起的。研究结果确定了女性癌症患者在寻求生育力保存服务时遇到的几个主要障碍。
