Figure 1. Holistic approach to fertility for women with cancer
This figure shows a practical multidisciplinary flowchart covering the approach to fertility for women with cancer, considering the preservation of fertility and the prescription of effective contraception. Although contraception guidance can be performed in any setting by any physician, the appropriate place for this to occur is a human reproduction center, after the completion of fertility preservation procedures and prior to the initiation of cancer treatment. Interdisciplinary communication with agility and the availability of complementary tests are fundamental for an integral approach to the reproductive health of cancer carriers. This system does not delay the start of cancer treatment, while carrying out tests before chemotherapy optimizes reference and counter-reference.
