Disparities in Female Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Oncofertility: A Needs Assessment
Advancements in cancer screening and implementation of targeted treatments have significantly improved survival rates to 85% for pediatric and AYA survivors. Greater than 75% of survivors will live to experience the long-term adverse outcomes of cancer therapies, termed late effects (LE), that disru...
