Reply to “Twistin' the night away”: Fertility preservation in young adult female cancer survivors

Year: 2016

Type: letter

Abstract: We are well aware that in the United States, due to the lack of a national health insurance program ensuring all citizens a minimum level of coverage, not all young women diagnosed with cancer can afford the costs associated with FP procedures.However, we want to emphasize again that in our opinion, but also as suggested by Benedict et al, 2 the salient point is rather the lack of information.We believe that information regarding FP should no longer be an unmet goal in the health care of young women, and we propose a pathway of care with the goal "to twist the night away" reducing patients' discomfort and anxiety concerning their reproductive life decisions during cancer care.
