Fertility Preservation in Iranian Cancer Patients: A Continuing Neglect
Journal Title: International Journal of Fertility & Sterility - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
It is not to be denied that one of the greatest breakthroughs of modern medicine is the day-today improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Global statistics show a declining rate of mortality from cancer and rising rate of survival from this ominous disease (1). Mortality data over the past quarter-century is quite promising as it shows a decreasing mortality rate from all cancers combined by 1.5% per year since 1993 in men and by 0.8% per year since 1992 in women (2). It is most fortunate which all of the most common cancers in men (lung, colorectal, and prostate) and women (breast and colorectal) show this decreasing trend. Even lung cancer mortality in women KDV¿QDOO\OHYHOHGRIIDIWHUVHYHUDOGHFDGHVRILQcrease. Despite such improvements in the survival rate of cancers, the incidence rate in Iran shows an increasing trend (3-5).
