台灣凍卵協會公布2026女性生育保存與意願調查結果,超過半數育齡女性有生育意願,即使未來罹癌亦有64.8%願透過醫療性凍卵保留生育機會,但63.8%癌友最擔心經濟負擔;國健署目前限制補助於乳癌、血液癌患者且補助期限為十年,專家建議擴大補助範圍並以生育力損害程度為依據。

國健署自2023年9月起推動醫療性生育保存補助試辦方案,僅限於18至40歲的乳癌、血液癌患者,補助期限為十年。台灣凍卵協會於2026年進行生育保存意願調查,發現即使面臨癌症風險,超過六成女性願透過凍卵保留生育機會,但經濟負擔是主要障礙。
台灣凍卵協會(TEFA)公布「二〇二六女性生育保存與意願調查」結果,發現我國育齡女性其實有超過半數有生育意願,即使未來不幸確診癌症,願意透過凍卵保留生育機會的比例也超過六成,但普遍最擔心經濟無法負擔。

願凍卵保留生機 比例超過6成
國健署去年九月一日起推動「醫療性生育保存補助試辦方案」,提供十八歲至四十歲的乳癌、血液癌患者生育保存補助,婦幼健康組簡任技正張櫻淳指出,自試辦方案上路至今約一年期間,共有二一五名癌友通過補助資格審查,其中四十四人為男性、一七一人為女性。
台灣凍卵協會(TEFA)昨日公布「二〇二六女性生育保存與意願調查」結果指出,五十五.一%的受調查女性有生育意願,且若不幸確診癌症,有高達六四.八%願意透過醫療性凍卵保留生育機會,受調查的癌友也有高達五十八.二%有生育意願、七十四.七%願意醫療性凍卵,但六十三.八%的受調查癌友最擔心醫療性凍卵帶來的經濟負擔。
台灣凍卵協會理事長曾琬婷說,據二〇二三年癌症登記資料,我國二十至三十九歲育齡女性新增癌症個案中,非乳癌、血液癌的比例高達七十一%,無法獲得醫療性生育保存補助,且部分癌友因治療癌症的醫院與生育保存的院所不同,也無法得到政府補助支持。
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,也應考慮以「治療對生育力的損害程度」作為補助評估依據,且應放寬癌症治療、生育保存必須同院的限制。
張櫻淳表示,國健署持續搜集意見,評估如何擴大補助對象,包括以「癌症治療對長期影響生育力」作為補助條件可能性,但現階段尚無明確實施時程,另研議跨院轉介的作業方式及跨機構執行模式。
國健署生育保存補助10年為限
TFC台北生殖中心主任醫師黃馨慧指出,凍卵的費用含藥物等在內,費用可能落在十二至十五萬左右,之後每年需要固定支付約一萬元的冷凍保管費,一般是癌症治療穩定、懷孕安全就會建議盡早使用。國健署提供的生育保存補助以十年為限,若超過補助期限,癌友仍可自行支付費用、繼續延長保存時間。
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
國健署將在未來數月內宣布擴大醫療性生育保存補助對象,將惡性腫瘤治療導致的生育力損害納入補助範圍。

The 73-year-old Mr. Chen tested positive for fecal occult blood during a colorectal cancer screening test at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. Further tests confirmed that he had stage III rectal cancer. After receiving radiation and chemotherapy, he underwent a minimally invasive rectal resection. He is currently recovering well and has not relapsed in the past two years. Doctors point out that about 70%-80% of colorectal cancers develop from benign polyps. Early screening and treatment are the key to improving the survival rate. The five-year survival rate in the first stage can reach more than 90%.

The latest international research points out that the atrial fibrillation detection function of smart watches has a high rate of misdiagnosis, leading to excessive medical treatment and public anxiety. Studies have shown that although the diagnosis rate has increased, the effect on reducing the risk of stroke or death is weak. Experts suggest that the alarm is for reference only and there is no need to panic blindly.
