Psychological impact of fertility preservation techniques in women with gynaecological cancer

Abstract: Gynaecological cancer is a very stressful experience for women and treatments can compromise fertility and reproductive capacity. Fertility preservation techniques in women with gynaecological cancer can play an important role in improving the quality of life of these patients but, in many cases, the information about this type of treatment is not adequate. It is important to further investigate this topic in order to reduce the impact of gynaecological cancer on the quality of life of survivors as much as pos… Show more

“…To conclude, young female cancer patients state to have a positive attitude towards FP but have limited knowledge. Providing information about FP by an early referral to a fertility specialist as well as with additional written material is very important (Angarita et al, 2016;Deshpande et al, 2015;Lagana, La Rosa, Rapisarda, Platania, & Vitale, 2017). Therefore, the next step is to elaborate and offer adequate and desired methods to provide this information.…”

“…Adequate information about diagnosis and treatment, e.g. fertility preservation or preservation of sexual function, seems to be as important as the treatment of symptoms post-operatively in women with vulvar neoplasia [27,28].

“…Thus, they probably have less emotional distress and can better accept the situation [29]. For women of childbearing age, the fact that they cannot have children may be worse than the diagnosis itself [27]. This can lead to an additional stressor in younger women, and more time and support would therefore be needed for successful adjustment.…”

“…The long-term quality of life is also missing from our reported data. In particular, we did not report any data on fertility preservation, which is strongly linked to the well-being of young patients suffering from gynecological cancers [27][28][29][30][31]. Thus, we cannot formally make conclusions on the profitability of each surgical approach and can only describe the elements that we used to decide which MIS technique will be used.…”
