… exploring and expanding the options for the reproductive future of cancer survivors
Why Create an App?
• Approximately 140,000 Americans under the age of 45
are diagnosed with cancer each year.
• While many patients have a good chance for survival,
many risk losing their fertility as a result of cancer or its
treatment.
• Currently, less than 50 percent of cancer patients receive
adequate fertility information before treatment.
• The SaveMyFertility campaign developed provider and
patient information materials that can be delivered via
SmartPhone App or directly downloaded from the web.
