Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
Engage with children via formal interview who received a diagnosis of cancer, and who have had a formal Oncofertility consult to understand the experience and perceptions related to both family-centered and provider-focused fertility conversations, as well as improvements Oncofertility team could make that affects the experience for patients and their families.
- Aim 1: Engage with children who received a diagnosis of cancer who have had a formal Oncofertility consult to understand the experience and perceptions related to both family-centered and provider-focused fertility conversations.
- Aim 2: Evaluate interviews of patient perceptions of new cancer diagnosis consults for patient-focused improvements of the Oncofertility team experience for patients and their families.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.
