Improving the reproductive health of young people with cancer
Our Research
Nearly 60,000 girls, adolescents and young adult women are diagnosed with cancer each year. More than ever, young people will survive cancer and can look forward to the future. Cancer treatment can affect future fertility, pregnancy and the menopause. Currently, there is limited information to help young survivors, their families and their healthcare providers navigate these complex issues. Our research group conducts observational and interventional studies to help young cancer survivors improve their reproductive health.
About the Research Team
Our group conducts innovative patient oriented research studies to help young cancer survivors improve their reproductive health throughout the cancer continuum.
Lab Location
Our research group is located on the 3rd floor of the Moores UC San Diego Cancer Center
