Contraception During Cancer Care
Description
This course is intended to introduce nurses, APRNs, and other healthcare professionals to the basics of providing contraception to patients also diagnosed with cancer. Adolescents and young adults with cancer have unique reproductive health needs. While providers often counsel patients with cancer to avoid pregnancy during treatment, providers infrequently offer contraception counseling in this context. This webinar will discuss the contraceptive needs among this population, common misconceptions about perceived fertility and sexual activity, and clinical considerations for use of contraception among various cancer types.
