In Time - The future of fertility preservation for children with cancer

Fertility preservation is an important – and often urgent – conversation in childhood and adolescent cancer care. Are you confident in identifying who is eligible, what to communicate, and where to refer? Find out more in this collaboration with the Australian and New Zealand Children’s Haematology/Oncology Group.

You’ll learn how to:

  1. Identify appropriate children and young people with cancer who are eligible for tissue preservation 
  2. Communicate potential risks of infertility and fertility preservation options to children and young people with cancer and their families  
  3. Apply the latest clinical and ethical guidelines on ovarian and testicular tissue preservation  
  4. Describe current research into tissue preservation in Australia  
  5. Describe how to refer patients to the Royal Women’s Hospital’s In Time tissue cryopreservation service.

Whether you’re new to this area or looking to update your knowledge, this session will help you support children, young people, and their families to make informed decisions at a critical time.
