虽然关于癌症幸存者对不孕症的经历和态度的研究相对较新，但现有文献表明，只有大约一半的育龄男女在诊断和治疗计划时从医疗保健提供者那里获得了所需的信息。因此，需要更好的患者教育策略。虽然理想的情况是让肿瘤学家与所有感兴趣的患者详细讨论保留或恢复生育能力的选择，但这个标准是不现实的。一个更实际的选择是培训非医生提供者，如护士和社会工作者，以解决这个问题。此外，直接患者教育的创新策略可能会有所帮助，包括使用计算机媒体，同伴咨询或针对特定年龄组或癌症部位的特殊教育模块。
Although research on cancer survivors' experiences and attitudes about infertility is relatively new, existing literature suggests that only about half of men and women of childbearing age receive the information they need from their health care providers at the time of diagnosis and treatment planning. Thus, better patient education strategies are needed. Although the ideal would be to have oncologists conduct detailed discussions of options to preserve or restore fertility with all interested patients, this standard is unrealistic. A more practical alternative is to train nonphysician providers such as nurses and social workers to address this topic. In addition, innovative strategies of direct patient education could be helpful, including use of computerized media, peer counseling, or special educational modules tailored to a particular age group or cancer site.
