This year, the 17th Annual Conference of the Oncofertility Consortium, October 13-15, 2025, will be held at The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit, MI, USA, with the theme of “Bridging Cancer Care and Parenthood: Innovations for Healthy Live Births in Oncofertility”. To spread awareness about oncofertility among health care providers, we designed this special Oncofertility 101 Course on the first day of the conference.
Objective:
Oncofertility is a relatively new interdisciplinary field at the intersection of oncology and reproductive medicine that expands fertility options for young cancer patients. The purpose of the Oncofertility 101 Course is to give an introduction to oncofertility and model a team approach to fertility preservation care and counseling. The Oncofertility Consortium addresses the complex health care and quality-of-life issues that concern young patients whose fertility may be impacted by treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases, or disorders of sex development. Providing comprehensive fertility preservation services for patients across their reproductive lifespan requires an interdisciplinary team of health care providers.
Target Audience:
The Oncofertility 101 Course is comprised of short didactic lectures given by leaders in the field interspersed with complex clinical cases for health care providers. This course is primarily targeted towards Oncologists, Primary Care Physicians, as well as Physicians in the specialties of Pediatric and Adult Hematology/Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Pediatric Endocrinology, Pediatric Gynecology, Andrology and Male Infertility. Fellows, Residents and early career faculty in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, or Internal Medicine with a particular interest in oncofertility are also welcome to attend.
