A recent supplement of the magazine, Cancer, focuses on the specific needs of young cancer patients in Canada. The articles discuss how to increase outcomes in patients between 18 and 39 who are dealing with cancer. One article, by Hamish B. Wallace MD, FRCP titled “Oncofertility and preservation of reproductive capacity in children and young adults,” makes a call for national agencies to fund the development of networks for research-based fertility preservation facilities to provide universal access to these techniques. It also stresses the importance of increased awareness of oncofertility issues among oncologists and reproductive specialists. Read the Wallace article or the entire supplement in Cancer.
