衛福部國健署推動醫療性生育保存補助試辦方案滿1年,共215名癌友通過。台灣凍卵協會與醫師呼籲,補助應改以「對生育力的損害程度」為評估依據,不應侷限於特定癌別。國健署表示,長期影響生育力為未來可能放寬方向,尚無明確時程。

台灣凍卵協會理事長曾琬婷說,未來應考慮以「治療對生育力的損害程度」作為醫療性生育保存補助的評估依據。

〔記者林志怡/台北報導〕衛福部國民健康署自去年9月起推動「醫療性生育保存補助試辦方案」,上路實施1年就有215名癌友通過補助資格審查,但民團呼籲,補助不應限於特定癌別,應以對生育力的損害程度為補助依據。對此衛福部國民健康署說,「癌症治療對長期影響生育力」是未來可能放寬方向之一,但尚無明確時程。

國健署自去年9月1日起推動「醫療性生育保存補助試辦方案」,提供18歲至40歲的乳癌、血液癌患者生育保存補助,且婦幼健康組簡任技正張櫻淳指出,自試辦方案上路至今年9月30日的1年期間,共有215名癌友通過補助資格審查,其中44人為男性、171人為女性。

台灣凍卵協會理事長曾琬婷說,根據衛福部2023癌症登記資料,我國20至39歲育齡女性新增癌症個案合計5165人,若僅以癌別區分,其中就有3672人不符合國健署現行試辦方案補助資格,比例高達71%。

曾琬婷也提到,我國雖有199家參與癌症登記的醫院,其中卻只有39家是特約人工生殖機構,導致部分癌友即使符合補助癌別,也可能因為進行癌症治療的院所無法進行生育保存,不得不去其他院所尋求凍卵服務,並因此無法得到政府的補助支持。

因此,曾琬婷指出,醫療性生育保存補助應涵蓋「惡性腫瘤治療、性腺毒性處置或疾病帶來的生育力損害風險」,而非侷限於特定癌別,台灣未來也應考慮以「治療對生育力的損害程度」作為補助評估依據。

TFC台北生殖中心主任醫師黃馨慧也認為,癌友應在治療真正傷害到卵巢功能前,有時間與正確的認知決定是否進行醫療性凍卵,政府補助應以治療的生育毒性為考量基準。

對於相關建議,張櫻淳說,國健署持續搜集外界意見,評估如何擴大補助對象,其中也包括以「癌症治療對長期影響生育力」作為補助條件的可能性,但現階段尚無明確實施時程,另也蒐集參與試辦方案癌友的意見,研議跨院轉介的作業方式及跨機構執行模式,以提升服務的可近性及便利性。
