Overview
This week we were fascinated to be able to hear from Dr Fleur Cattrall (Fertility Specialist and Medical Director of Melbourne IVF) and Dr Sharyn Stock-Myer (Scientific Director of Preimplantation Genetics, Virtus Diagnostics). Together we explored all aspects of NETS and fertility – including the impact of treatment on this for men and women, options for fertility preservation, and preimplantation genetic screening (for those with inherited syndromes).
