Abstract
Female survivors of young adult (YA) cancers are at risk of fertility impacts following cancer treatment. For these women, fertility-related distress is both prevalent and persistent. Yet there is little research regarding survivors' perspectives on alternative family-building options, particularly adoption. This exploratory secondary data analysis analyzed semistructured interviews and explored survivors' views of adoption. Overall, female YA survivors reported openness to adoption as a possible substitute for biological conception and an alternative to fertility preservation. It is imperative that this population receives support in decision-making around and consideration of the unique barriers to adoption for cancer survivors.
年轻成人（YA）癌症女性幸存者在接受癌症治疗后有可能影响生育。对于这些女性来说，与生育相关的困扰既普遍又持久。然而，有关幸存者对建立家庭的其他选择（尤其是领养）的看法的研究却很少。这项探索性二次数据分析分析了半结构式访谈，探讨了幸存者对领养的看法。总体而言，女性 YA 幸存者对领养持开放态度，认为领养可以替代生物受孕，也是保留生育能力的一种替代方式。当务之急是为这一人群提供决策支持，并考虑癌症幸存者在收养方面的独特障碍。
