As some of you may know, SHCC MBCCOP staff has been collaborating with Dr. Ashlesha Patel over the past three years to develop a reproductive health in cancer care concept through ECOG.
We are proud to announce that our ECOG concept, E1Q11, EROS: Engendering Reproductive Health in Cancer Care, has been approved by the National Cancer Institute for protocol development. It is projected that this study will be activated this fall.
