Research Article: Techniques for Fertility Preservation in Patients with Breast Cancer - A Current Approach
A new research article, curated by Dr. Mariam Faruqui Shati, Bipasha Ahmed, Md. Khorshed Alam, Ashikur Rahaman, Angel Tincy Abraham, and Swati Sharma and titled “Techniques for fertility preservation in patients with breast cancer - A current approach”, has been published.
The currently available methods of fertility preservation for patients with breast cancer include cryopreservation of embryos, oocytes, and ovarian tissue and GnRH agonist treatment during chemotherapy. As the number of women who wish to become pregnant after being diagnosed with breast cancer increases, it is necessary to consider fertility preservation in these patients. However, medical doctors may be unaware of the importance of fertility preservation among cancer patients because most patients do not share their concerns about fertility with their doctors.
The main aim of this study is to focus on the importance of discussing fertility preservation with breast cancer patients. Patients with malignant diseases other than breast cancer such as leukemia, lymphoma, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, and sarcoma who may be treated by chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation therapy should also be considered. Though the problem of fertility loss for breast cancer patients is important and we should assess the infertility risk for all patients, we should also consider the prognosis.
