Oncofertility is gaining importance because of increasing cancer incidence, high survivorship, the need to provide a good quality of life to survivors and the desire of patients to preserve their fertility. Disseminating information about the effect of cancer and cancer treatment on fertility and the availability and effectiveness of fertility preservation techniques is critical. Gynaecologists in India act as family physicians and are in a unique position to guide cancer patients on issues of fertility and fertility preservation. Their contribution in oncofertility is vital to improve the quality of life of many young survivors. This paper presents the result of a survey done with Indian gynaecologists. The aim of this survey was to ascertain awareness and knowledge of reproductive damage by cancer therapy, knowledge of fertility preservation techniques and an understanding of the barriers to fertility preservation. This information would assist in planning programs to improve oncofertility care and counselling.
由于癌症发病率上升、高生存率、需要为幸存者提供高质量生活以及患者保留生育能力的愿望，肿瘤生育学正变得越来越重要。传播有关癌症和癌症治疗对生育能力的影响以及生育力保存技术的可用性和有效性的信息至关重要。印度的妇科医生充当家庭医生，在指导癌症患者解决生育和生育力保存问题方面处于独特地位。他们在肿瘤生育学方面的贡献对于提高许多年轻幸存者的生活质量至关重要。本文展示了对印度妇科医生进行的一项调查结果。这项调查的目的是确定对癌症治疗引起的生殖损伤的认识和了解、生育力保存技术的知识以及对生育力保存障碍的理解。这些信息将有助于规划改善肿瘤生育护理和咨询的项目。
