We evaluated our 2-year experience of the regional oncofertility network in Gifu Prefecture (GPOFS) in order to establish a more sophisticated regional oncofertility networking model in Japan.
Questionnaires were distributed twice in January 2013 to 57 departments in 35 hospitals that provide cancer treatment in Gifu Prefecture, before the establishment of the regional oncofertility network. The number and type of disease of the referred adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients who visited the oncofertility clinic in Gifu University Hospital via the GPOFS were analyzed.
The majority of regional oncologists are aware of the need to provide information about oncofertility to their patients, but they cannot provide sufficient information due to their lack of knowledge about reproductive medicine. Eighty-one AYA patients were referred to our clinic for oncofertility counseling in the first 2 years after the establishment of the GPOFS.
The GPOFS as the first regional oncofertility network in Japan has just started and may be working to help both AYA cancer patients and their oncologists. The nationwide establishment of the regional oncofertility network model could help both AYA cancer patients and oncologists.
我们评估了岐阜县区域肿瘤生育力网络(GPOFS)的两年经验,以便在日本建立更完善的区域肿瘤生育力网络模型。
在区域肿瘤生育力网络建立之前,于2013年1月向岐阜县35家提供癌症治疗的医院的57个科室两次发放问卷。分析了通过GPOFS转诊至岐阜大学医院肿瘤生育力门诊的青少年及年轻成人(AYA)癌症患者的疾病数量和类型。
大多数区域肿瘤学家意识到有必要向患者提供有关肿瘤生育力的信息,但由于他们缺乏生殖医学知识,无法提供足够的信息。在GPOFS建立后的头两年,有81名AYA患者被转诊至我们的门诊进行肿瘤生育力咨询。
GPOFS作为日本首个区域肿瘤生育力网络刚刚起步,可能正在努力帮助AYA癌症患者及其肿瘤学家。在全国范围内建立区域肿瘤生育力网络模型可能会对AYA癌症患者和肿瘤学家都有帮助。
