Wanting (More) Children While Facing An Inherited Blood Cancer
This webinar took place on June 18, 2020. It explores family expansion considerations for individuals with genetic mutations that increase risks of blood cancer. The discussion is led by a fertility specialist and genetic counselor who provided an overview of basic genetics and inheritance before delving more into the reproductive options available to patients. They also discuss fertility preservation options for those who are facing a blood cancer diagnosis and treatment that could limit their ability to have children. RUNX1-FPD is the primary focus, but the concepts discussed are applicable to other predisposition syndromes.
