Impairment of fertility and sexual/reproductive health are common after oncologic therapy, and are known to have negative impacts on romantic relationships and psychosocial well-being among childhood cancer survivors. The Pediatric Initiative Network (PIN) is an international, multidisciplinary group of providers within the Oncofertility Consortium dedicated to preserving and protecting the fertility of children and adolescents at risk for infertility due to medical conditions or treatments. The PIN and its Best Practices and Research committees meet virtually throughout the year, with one annual in-person meeting. The purpose of this "proceedings" is to highlight key discussion points from the annual PIN meeting which took place on November 11, 2019, to 1) provide a context for pediatric groups across the country on what oncofertility programs are currently doing and why, and 2) inform stakeholders of past, present and future initiatives that may be of value to them and the patient populations they serve.
生育能力和性/生殖健康受损在肿瘤治疗后很常见,已知会对癌症患儿幸存者的浪漫关系和社会心理健康产生负面影响。儿科倡议网络(PIN)是肿瘤生育力联盟内的一个国际性、多学科的提供者团体,致力于保护因医疗条件或治疗而有不孕风险的儿童和青少年的生育能力。PIN 及其最佳实践和研究委员会全年通过虚拟方式开会,每年举行一次现场会议。本“会议录”旨在突出 2019 年 11 月 11 日举行的 PIN 年度会议的主要讨论要点,目的是:1)为全国儿科团体提供有关肿瘤生育力项目目前正在做什么以及为什么要做的背景信息;2)让利益相关者了解过去、现在和未来可能对他们及其服务的患者群体有价值的举措。
