Riguardo questo articolo

The treatment of cancer in young women and men is increasingly turning from focusing purely on survival to a recognition of the long-term effects of treatment on subsequent quality of life. In this regard, fertility is a very high priority for patients. This is the first book to explain the latest techniques in fertility preservation. Chapters cover fertility preservation in both women and men, management of cancer in pregnancy, egg donation and surrogacy, hormone replacement options, counselling and ethical issues. A multidisciplinary team of over 60 specialists were involved in this work, with contributions from leading obstetricians, medical oncologists, gynaecological oncologists, urologists and fertility specialists. The book is formally supported by the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP). This highly patient-centred, readable text will be of value to a wide range of clinicians and physicians, and doctors in training, in their daily work.
