The regional platform 'cancer and Fertility': An ONCOPACA-Corse network pilot study [La plateforme régionale ? Cancer et fertilité ?: un projet pilote du réseau ONCOPACA-Corse]

摘要

Global improvements in patient prognosis and impetus gained fromthe two French cancer plans have lead to reconsider the importance of quality of life on survival, and especially of fertility preservation as an essential part of oncologic supportive care. Post treatment, patients should have the opportunity to enjoy and plan parenthood in keeping with their expectations. The regional cancer network ONCOPACA-Corse has implemented coordinated actions to promote rapid access to this specific care. This platform will provide access to emerging techniques, in particular for the female and the paediatric population, and patients' followup. Delivering specific information to oncologic staffs is essential to reach this objective.
