Oncofertility Information and Educational Resources for Professionals and Patients

Oncofertility has emerged as a new interdisciplinary approach to address the reproductive future of young men, women, and children facing a life-preserving but fertility threatening cancer diagnosis. The CKN Canadian Oncofertility Referral Network is a nationwide platform that links patients, physicians and fertility clinics to ensure time-sensitive needs are met in providing fertility options for young cancer patients as they embark on treatment. The goal is to create and foster a multidisciplinary dialogue between patients and their medical team about fertility sparing options.
