The study showed that 80% of women who beat cancer and want to become mothers successfully give birth to a child within the next year after recovery. This is very good news for a lot of people.
Over the past 20 years, oncofertility has become one of the specialties that are becoming increasingly relevant. Today, the survival rate after cancer is, in general, over 80%, although, of course, all this depends on the type of tumor and its stage. However, at the same time, there is an increase in gynecological tumors among people of reproductive age, and even in childhood.
Women were advised to give birth after 30
Also, the incidence of colon and lung cancer is increasing exponentially due to an increase in the number of women who smoke. The average age of primiparous mothers is also growing, in some European countries it has already reached 32 years. And this means that the age of pregnancy and the age of risk of tumors increasingly coincide. A study by Spanish scientists showed that more than 80% of women who successfully beat cancer give birth to healthy children within the next year after recovery, if they set themselves such a goal.
After five years, men will be able to have children
If on the eve of cancer treatment appropriate measures were taken to preserve fertility, such as freezing eggs and sperm, then more than 50% of patients will have their own biological children. The authors of the study consider the results obtained to be extremely important. It is imperative for patients that someone tell them that dreams of motherhood are very real and should not be abandoned. (READ MORE)
