The field of oncofertility began with anurgent unmet need – the fertility concernsof young cancer patients. Today, due to theresearch and clinical interventions documentedin prior books, the field of oncofertilityhas matured. Now, clear didactics areneeded to ensure that clinicians who arenew to this field of medicine can quicklycome up to speed with treatment strategies.In this first ever Textbook of OncofertilityResearch and Practice, the coeditorsand coauthors met this need with twokinds of chapters. First, in the didacticchapters, questions are posed that areinstructional and provide the best evidenceavailable on each of the subjects.They may also provide a springboardtoward new research or improvements inclinical care. The second chapter type isrepresented by case studies. Every oncofertilitycase differs significantly based on theage of the individual, expectations aboutfertility needs, timing, and the type of cancercare, and this complexity is detailed ineach chapter. As a collection, they representthe best thinking of clinicians whohave been on the frontline of oncofertilitycare since its inception. In the end, wehope these chapters and the case studiesenable the kind of learning that is enduringand propels the field forward.
