CANCER TREATMENT CENTERS OF AMERICA launched a fertility preservation program, OncoPrez, at its hospitals in Chicago, Philadelphia and Tulsa.

The program makes discussions about fertility and family planning an integral part of treatment planning for all men and women of childbearing years. The program will be offered at CTCA hospitals in Atlanta and Phoenix in early 2015.

Each CTCA hospital in the program has identified a local, dedicated fertility center to provide preservation services. Patients who are interested in exploring fertility preservation are provided with a direct referral to a reproductive specialist who will work collaboratively with the patient’s CTCA oncology team.

Genetic counseling can improve genetic screening and accelerate clinical trial success

In an effort to target the right patients, genetic screening is becoming more common in clinical trials. But incorporating it can be complex and add a significant burden for both patients and clinical trial sites. Genetic counseling can streamline that process and help drug and gene therapy developers expedite the recruitment of genetically-eligible participants for their trials and use genetic testing results to accelerate the speed and success of clinical trials.
