Once unimaginable, fertility management is now a nationally established part of cancer care in institutions, from academic centers to community hospitals to private practices. Over the last two decades, advances in medicine and reproductive science have made it possible for men, women and children to be connected with an oncofertility specialist or offered fertility preservation soon after a cancer diagnosis. The Oncofertility Consortium's National Physicians Cooperative is a large-scale effort to engage physicians across disciplines - oncology, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and behavioral health - in clinical and research activities to enable significant progress in providing fertility preservation options to children and adults. Here, we review the structure and function of the National Physicians Cooperative and identify next steps.
曾经难以想象的是，生育力管理现在已成为全国各医疗机构癌症治疗的既定部分，从学术中心到社区医院再到私人诊所。在过去的二十年中，医学和生殖科学的进步使得男性、女性和儿童能够与肿瘤生育专家联系，或在癌症诊断后不久就提供生育力保存。Oncofertility 联盟的国家医师合作组织是一项大规模的努力，旨在让肿瘤学、泌尿科、妇产科、生殖内分泌学和行为健康等各学科的医生参与临床和研究活动，为儿童和成人提供生育力保存选择方面取得重大进展。在这里，我们回顾了国家医师合作组织的结构和功能，并确定了下一步的工作。
