Cross-Sectional Study of Psychosexual Impact of Cancer-Related Infertility in Women: Third Party Reproductive Assistance
This study aims to learn about the needs and feelings of women who are infertile. Being
infertile means not being able to have a child without the help of a third party. There are
other options for building a family. The researchers are interested in the participants'
thoughts about these options and want to learn about the experiences of infertile women due
to cancer treatment as well as women who are infertile due to other causes. The researchers
hope that what they learn will allow them to better care for infertile women in the future.

medical history. You can choose to answer these questions either at one of your doctor
visits or over the telephone. You can decide the best way to complete this assessment.
