Beyond Cancer: Options for Fertility
Mira Aubuchon, MD, Missouri Center for Reproductive
Medicine and Fertility, University of Missouri, Columbia
A diagnosis of cancer is devastating to any person
with this disease. Often future fertility is the last
thing on the minds of healthcare providers and
sometimes even patients. But as many cancers
are becoming treatable or even curable, those
with cancer should be in a position to know the
options so that choosing a family is a possibility. Since treatments for cancer often reduce fertility
potential, the best time for these discussions to
happen is before treatment for cancer begins. Objectives:
16. Discuss how cancer and cancer treatments
affect fertility.
17. Identify methods of preserving fertility in
both males and females.

Refreshment Break

Sexuality and Cancer – Becky Lynn, MD, Missouri OB/GYN Associates, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia
Cancer and the treatments of this disease can
create many changes in a person’s sexuality. Although the cause for the change (surgery,
chemotherapy, radiation, hormones) may differ,
the effects are similar. Dr. Lynn will discuss the
importance of sexuality and available treatment
options for these resulting sexuality problems.
Objectives:
18. Identify the sexuality problems which can
occur with cancer therapy.
19. Discuss the current options for treatment of
these sexuality problems.
