Treatment regimens for cancer patients are known for their toxicity and pose a threat to their fertility. This study takes the form of a survey aimed to analyzing the current knowledge and motivation of physicians involved in cancer care. The majority of surveyed physicians believe that fertility is a concern for women cured of cancer. A significant portion of physicians do not offer preservation methods to their patients, either due to the unavailability of an oncofertility center or due to the severity of the type of cancer. The main challenge in the coming years will be to improve access to fertility preservation techniques for patients whose treatments could affect their ovarian reserve.
