- Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the female oncofertility attitude and knowledge of reproductive health professionals in China., Methods: An online survey was distributed to reproductive health professionals in Shanghai, China., Results: Female professionals were more likely to consider that cancer patients would want to preserve their fertility. Participants with higher educational background tended to have a more positive attitude toward oncofertility. The majority of the participants (71.0%) obtained a fair or low level of oncofertility knowledge, and only 25.3% of them received scores at the 'good knowledge' level., Conclusion: There are significant gaps in the current oncofertility knowledge among reproductive health professionals in China, suggesting an urgent, unmet need for establishing an interdisciplinary fertility preservation training and service system.
