Abstract

The article focuses on advocacy efforts to improve access to fertility preservation services for cancer patients facing infertility risks due to treatment. It highlights a 2023 joint position statement by the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), the Association of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses, and the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology, which supports equitable access to fertility preservation and encourages healthcare providers to inform patients of related risks. ONS has expanded its advocacy to promote state legislation requiring health plans to cover standard fertility preservation services, with bills introduced in at least nine states for the 2025 session. The article also notes a recent executive order signed by President Donald Trump aimed at reducing the costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF) to improve affordability and access. Readers are encouraged to engage in advocacy by sharing patient stories with legislators and staying informed through ONS resources and alerts.
