Fertility Preservation Child Adolescent And Young Adults Decision Aid Caya Cancer Survivors

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special tool designed to help parents and young adults who have survived cancer understand their options for preserving fertility, which is the ability to have children in the future. Sometimes, when patients go through cancer treatment, they may lose the ability to have children later in life. This trial aims to see if using a fertility preservation decision aid (FP DA), along with regular information from healthcare providers, can better meet the needs of parents and young cancer survivors when it comes to making decisions about fertility.

To be eligible for this study, parents must be guardians of cancer survivors who were 25 years old or younger when diagnosed and have completed their cancer treatment. Young adults aged 16 and older who have survived cancer and are no longer receiving treatment can also join. Participants will receive information and support to help them understand their fertility options better. It's important to note that the study is not yet recruiting participants, and some individuals currently undergoing treatment or in palliative care, as well as certain minors, will not be eligible to participate. This trial could be a valuable opportunity for families to gain clarity about fertility options after cancer treatment.
