Objective assessment of the oncofertility educational information, available to women, on the websites of NCI-designated cancer centers in the US: do socioeconomic demographic profiles by state make a difference?

Abstract

Current guidelines recommend that reproductive age women, newly diagnosed with cancer, should be counseled on fertility preservation (FP). Hospital websites increasingly serve as portals for reliable web-based resources to supplement the knowledge of patients and families regarding their diagnoses & treatments. This study aims to assess the quality of hospital web-based resources which are available to women undergoing cancer treatment at major cancer centers.
