Survivors of childhood brain tumors looking to the future may have hopes of living independently, working, and perhaps having a family of their own. This presentation provides information about the possible options before, during, and after treatment, that can make parenthood a reality. Dr. Copland speaks to male and female pediatric brain tumor patients, survivors and their parents about new developments in the field of onco-fertility. This area of research and clinical practice offers hope to those who may be affected by chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Susannah Copland, M.D., M.S., assistant professor in the division of reproductive endocrinology and fertility at Duke University Medical Center. |
