Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a single center cross-sectional retrospective study with a quantitative and qualitative approach (phase 1 and 2). In phase 1 an online survey will be realized and targets male cancer survivors. Phase 2 will take a qualitative approach, in which information about patient's experiences, needs and helpful support will be collected by establishing focus groups of cancer patients who had been diagnosed during the reproductive age. In the end, the results of this study will be integrated into the development of an online support tool concerning Fertility Preservation (FP).
