Cancer - Education For Cancer Docs Helps Increase Rates of Sperm Freezing For Young Men With Cancer
Aug 06, 2010
At this year's 2010 national American Urologic Association's meeting in San Francisco, California, Wagner et al. from Madison, Wisconsin lectured their institution's cancer doctors for one hour on sperm freezing ("cryopreservation") and found the rates of sperm freezing for young men with cancer went up 370% afterwards.
Bottomline: Education is a wonderful thing...not only for patients but also for their doctors. Male fertility specialists need to continue playing a key role in empowering oncologists with education so that they can help their young men with cancer make solid decisions about whether cryopreservation should be done before cancer therapy is started.
