Several challenges exist within the field of oncofertility, including:
1. Awareness and Education: Both patients and healthcare providers may lack awareness of fertility preservation options and the impact of cancer treatments on fertility. 2. Timing: Cancer treatment often needs to begin quickly, leaving limited time for fertility preservation procedures. 3. Cost: Fertility preservation techniques can be expensive, and not all insurance plans cover these procedures. 4. Ethical and Psychosocial Issues: Decisions about fertility preservation can be emotionally charged and involve complex ethical considerations, such as the future use of stored gametes or tissues.
