Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to introduce a Special Issue in the journal Cancers titled "Fertility Preservation and Hormonal Health in Oncology". This Special Issue aims to explore the critical interface between oncology and reproductive health, particularly focusing on pioneering advancements in oncofertility that are reshaping cancer care, including the preservation of hormonal function and management of hormonal deficiencies following female oncology treatments.
Oncofertility represents a vital frontier where oncology and fertility preservation intersect, offering hope and opportunities to individuals facing fertility challenges due to cancer treatments. This Special Issue aims to delve into various dimensions of oncofertility and hormonal health within the realm of oncology, including the following:
- Innovations in fertility preservation techniques tailored for cancer patients.
- Preservation of hormonal function and management of hormonal deficiencies post cancer therapies.
- Psychological and ethical considerations in integrating oncofertility and hormonal health into cancer care.
- Impacts of cancer therapies on reproductive health outcomes and women’s wellbeing.
- Strategies for fertility counseling and decision-making in oncology.
- Emerging technologies and novel approaches in oncofertility research to address cancer-related infertility.
We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful contributions from experts in oncology, reproductive health, and related disciplines. Each submission will undergo a robust peer review process to ensure scientific rigor and relevance to the oncology landscape.
By consolidating diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research in oncofertility, this Special Issue seeks to advance knowledge, foster collaborations, and ultimately improve the holistic care and well-being of cancer patients facing fertility and quality of life challenges.
Should you have queries, require further details, or seek guidance on submission, please feel free to reach out. Your invaluable contributions are vital in shaping the discourse on oncofertility within the context of oncology.
We extend our gratitude for your interest and participation in this Special Issue and eagerly anticipate receiving your esteemed contributions.
