VIDEO: Team approach is best for successful oncofertility clinic

PHILADELPHIA – Whether you want to build an entire oncofertility clinic or just elevate the level of care your current facility offers, an integrated approach to care is key, according to Dr. Leslie A. Appiah, director of oncofertility at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, Lexington.

In a video interview at the annual meeting of the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, Dr. Appiah offers suggestions for how oncologists, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, nurse managers, social workers, and others – even when they’re with other institutions – can work together to offer care that adheres to position statements on fertility rights for cancer patients from the American Society of Clinical Oncology and other associations.

Dr. Appiah also discusses how to achieve fluid communication so that fertility can be preserved without delaying cancer treatments, and best practices for oncofertility concerns in the pediatric setting.
