Abstract

.

Dear Editor

Infertility has emerged as a major public health problem worldwide, including the Western world and Asian Pacific region including India. Biomedical researchers are currently endeavoring to strategically address fertility preservation in cancer patients exposed to chemo-/radio-therapy regimens, and develop cost-effective fertility-sparing/preserving patient-centric risk- assessment protocols for enhancing the overall quality of life and survivorship; there may be increased susceptibility to HPV-mediated cervical, breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers with increasing usage of ovulation induction- and/or ovarian stimulation-related fertility medications for in-vitro fertilization in the treatment of female infertility [1-4]. “Infertility” is defined as the inability to conceive following 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse; psychosexual counseling-based intervention(s): marital-relationship counseling/therapy, timely referrals for psychological assessments, psychiatric treatments, primarily cognitive impairment, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and/or clinical depression are immensely beneficial in overall psychological well-being of patients symptomatic of psychosexual disorders [9, 11]. The overwhelming disproportionate share of psychological problems associated with fertility preservation in symptomatic cervical and breast cancer women of diverse ethnicities warrants innovative mental-holistic cancer care with cost-effective patient-friendly management regimens. My expert opinion article aims to briefly comment on the ongoing clinical research efforts in oncofertility. There is an urgent need of tailor-made personalized fertility preservation treatment modalities in cancer management amongst reproductive-aged women of ethnically disparate cohorts; public health research collaborations amongst radiation oncologists and infertility/reproductive medicine experts are warranted to promote cancer awareness, cancer-risk assessments, regular follow-up and surveillance of adverse effects of cytotoxic agents/drugs’-based treatment-related reproductive risks in women undergoing radiation therapy/polychemotherapy. A retrospective cohort study in statistically significant sample size of 9419 young women aged <50>
