“One goal of the Oncofertility Consortium, a novel transdisciplinary initiative, was the education and training of providers who treat cancer patients, but do not have reproduction on their radar screens. For most, if not all cancer survivors, family building is synonymous with quality of life. It all starts with basic education and awareness of the facts and what opportunities and treatment options are possible. This textbook, co-edited by Drs. Woodruff, Vitek and Shah, provides all the needed information; it should be a “must read” for any healthcare provider, primary care or specialist treating pediatric cancer patients or patients of reproductive age with cancer.” (Christos Coutifaris, MD, PhD Celso-Ramon Garcia Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University of Pennsylvania, President, ASRM, US)
