¿¿Oncofertility integrates the two previously distinct fields of cancer treatment and fertility
research and aims to explore and expand the reproductive future of cancer survivors. In order
to achieve the goal of fertility preservation the Oncofertility community must focus on
communication and the way data is provided and received. Concomitant with the rapidly changing
technology of Oncofertility there have been radical shifts and advances in the way health
educators and clinicians can produce and share information. As success rates of reproductive
techniques such as egg freezing and banking continue to rise providing increasing
opportunities for young cancer patients to preserve their fertility prior to the onset of
cancer treatments communication among professionals in oncology reproductive medicine and
psychosocial work among others becomes crucial and clinical demand for Oncofertility
information is expected to rise considerably. Oncofertility Communication describes and
addresses the myriad channels through which the multiple audiences involved in Oncofertility
can be served with appropriate and accurate information about cancer-related fertility issues.
The text answers frequently asked questions and provides invaluable insights to scientific and
health care professionals about communication among the diverse Oncofertility audiences. It
incorporates timely discussions about traditional and emerging electronic communication tools
and discusses the impact of health care policy changes on the Oncofertility field.¿
