Oncofertility Consortium Annual Conference

摘要： 此R13申请的目的是资助肿瘤生育联盟的年度会议。这是唯一一次这样的会议，目的是将著名的研究人员、科学家、临床医生和患者团结在一起，就关心他们生育能力的癌症患者的新兴技术、研究和现实世界的选择进行互动讨论。肿瘤生育联盟会议是一次充满活力和互动的会议；与会者涵盖基础科学、生殖内分泌学、细胞生物学、社会科学、伦理学、教育、法律、患者权益保护和宗教等领域。此外，患者和医疗保健提供者被邀请分享他们为癌症患者保留生育能力的亲密经验。 我们在研究和教育方面的创新方法促使我们在年度会议之外为更广泛的受众提供新颖的教育材料，通过我们对会议的现场视频录制，任何感兴趣的个人都可以在我们的网站上免费访问我们会议上的演示文稿和活动。随着我们的事业继续蓬勃发展，我们仍然坚定地致力于我们的最初目标，即进一步促进研究、教育，以及让患者和从业者有机会在获得知识、技术和治疗时获得这些知识、技术和治疗。随着癌症幸存者人数的持续增长，我们努力为这一群体提供保留生育能力的选择，赋予他们知识，使他们能够控制自己的生殖未来。这项赠款申请将用于肿瘤生育联盟将于2009年9月12-13日、2010年12月、2011年12月和2012年12月举行的其余四次年度会议。

Abstract: The purpose of this R13 application is to fund the annual meeting of the Oncofertility Consortium. This meeting is the only one of its kind and serves the purpose of uniting prominent researchers, scientists, clinicians, and patients in an interactive discussion about emerging technologies, research, and real world options for cancer patients concerned about their fertility. The Oncofertility Consortium conference is a dynamic and interactive gathering; conference attendees span the fields of basic science, reproductive endocrinology, cell biology, social science, ethics, education, law, patient advocacy and religion. Additionally, patients and healthcare providers are invited to share their intimate experiences with fertility preservation for cancer patients. Our innovative approach to both research and education drives us to provide novel educational materials for the wider audience outside of our annual meeting, and through our live video-recording of the conference any interested individuals can access presentations and events from our meeting on our website, free of cost. As our enterprise continues to flourish we remain deeply committed to our original goals of furthering research, education, and opportunities for patients and practitioners alike to access knowledge, techniques and treatments as they become available. As the population of cancer survivors continues to grow, we strive to offer fertility preservation options to this cohort, empowering them with knowledge and enabling them to be in control of their reproductive future. This grant application is intended for the Oncofertility Consortium's four remaining annual meetings to be held on September 12-13, 2009, December 2010, December 2011 and December 2012.
