Abstract：
Oncofertility is an emerging field that incorporates diverse disciplines working together to care for oncology patients from birth to adulthood who are facing surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy that may impact their fertility potential and reproductive function. Providing this care to newly diagnosed oncology patients in an expedited manner can be challenging. There is currently a paucity of published data about how this care is provided, training and education of individuals providing this care, and patient-reported outcomes related specifically to oncofertility care. The role of the oncofertility patient navigator is to bridge the institutional and disciplinary boundaries so oncology patients of all ages can receive timely information regarding fertility risk and preservation options at diagnosis and throughout survivorship care. The purpose of this paper is to define the role of the oncofertility patient navigator within diverse models of care and health care systems, and provide a framework for ongoing efforts to improve reproductive care for those affected by cancer in their years of child-bearing potential.
摘要：
肿瘤生育是一个新兴的领域，融合了不同的学科一起工作，照顾肿瘤患者从出生到成年谁面临手术，放射治疗,或化疗可能影响他们的生育潜力和生殖功能。以加快的方式向新诊断的肿瘤患者提供这种护理可能是具有挑战性的。目前，关于如何提供这种护理的公开数据很少，对提供这种护理的个人进行培训和教育，和患者报告的结局特别与肿瘤生育护理相关。肿瘤生育患者导航员的作用是弥合机构和学科界限，因此所有年龄段的肿瘤患者都可以在诊断和整个生存护理中及时获得有关生育风险和保存选择的信息。本文的目的是定义癌症患者导航员在各种护理和医疗保健系统模型中的作用，并为正在进行的努力提供一个框架，以改善受癌症影响的人在其育龄期的生殖护理。
