Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Study to Improve Survivorship Care Related to Fertility and Family-building After Cancer

Study Description

Brief Summary: The goal of this research is to explore how a patient decision aid tool (website) given to patients prior to their survivorship care visits, may impact patient-provider communication about fertility and family-building after cancer; and assess the impact of using the tool on patient reported outcomes. The overall purpose of this research is to improve survivorship care by establishing a multi-disciplinary approach to managing cancer and fertility issues and prompt early referral to supportive and medical care resources.

Detailed Description: Objective 1: Establish feasibility and acceptability of conducting research with YA-F cancer survivors at the Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI) and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH). Hypothesis 1: Study procedures will be feasible in the given timeframe and acceptable to patients, as evidence by recruitment, enrollment, and completion rates and participant feedback. Objective 2: Evaluate the impact of using the tool as a part of survivorship care on patient reported outcomes (PROs; i.e., information needs, fertility distress, decision-making uncertainty, and satisfaction with care). Hypothesis 2: In a single-arm pilot study (N=20), use of the decision aid tool will lead to improvements in fertility distress, decision-making uncertainty, and satisfaction with care.
