Dr Anazodo leads the Future Fertility research program on reproductive concerns of cancer patients and she has been instrumental in the development of Medicare item numbers for public funding for oncofertility care in Australia as well as leading international work on oncofertility models of care and global oncofertility competencies.
Oncofertility is an emerging discipline in obstetrics and gynaecology which seeks to preserve and restore the reproductive future of cancer patients. Aim: To perform a systematic literature review to assess the current fertility pres- ervation techniques available to patients and examine access and uptake of fertility.
Education databases (AEIPT, Education Research Complete, ProQuest and VOCED) were also searched but did not yield any relevant papers. Oncofertility practice was defined in 2007 (Woodruff, 2007) and since then significant investments in clinical and research practice have resulted in the availability of increasing evidence about medical and.
The Oncofertility Consortium involves a diverse array of scholars to identify how oncofertility can be better integrated into the humanities, communication sciences, and other areas of research. These interdisciplinary collaborations can advance oncofertility research in ways not possible through traditional scientific and medical research.
Research Projects Current Research. Fertility Preservation measures at The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne (HREC 33064). The aim of this project is to monitor, record and report outcomes of all fertility preservation consultations for patients seen at the RCH, from 1987 when the first procedure occurred.
The Oncofertility Consortium sought to remedy this “information, data, and option gaps” 18 and “serve as an authoritative voice for research, clinical practice and training that happens at the intersection of oncology, pediatrics, reproductive science and medicine, biomechanics, material science, mathematics, social science, bioethics, religion, policy research, reproductive health law.
Chemotherapeutics, radiation, and surgery can impact the future fertility of men, women, and children with cancer. The field of oncofertility, founded to ensure the reproductive future of cancer survivors, gained momentum with 5 years of funding through a 2007 National Institutes of Health Roadmap Grant for Biomedical Research.
