Sexual Health and Fertility Preservation Under Psychsocial Oncology

Advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic cancers have improved survival rates, making survivorship issues such as fertility and sexual wellness a priority. A lack of knowledge on how to manage these concerns leads to a missed opportunity to help survivors thrive after a cancer diagnosis.

The goal of this presentation is to emphasize how important it is to recognize and address fertility and sexual health concerns of patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. It will also provide baseline knowledge on how to approach these discussions with patients as well as strategies on how to partner with and refer to specialists who can provide appropriate care.

Target Audience

This meeting is designed to meet the interests of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, physicists, nurses, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists and pulmonologists.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:

  • Identify patients who are at risk for fertility and/or sexual problems.
  • Counsel patients on fertility risks and common sexual issues that arise.
  • Refer patients to appropriate specialists when necessary.
