Trends and Regional Differences for Fertility Preservation Procedures in Women With Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women of reproductive age and chemotherapy protocols impair fertility, frequently necessitating fertility preservation (FP) referral. Embryo, oocyte, or ovarian tissue cryopreservation are established FP modalities in women with breast cancer but there are few data on their uptake over time. In this study our aim was to determine the regional time trends and utility differences for fertility preservation methods of reproductive tissue cryopreservation.

Methods

This multicenter study included 1623 women diagnosed with breast cancer from 7 tertiary centers in 6 countries (Brazil, Italy, Scotland, South Korea, Turkey, USA). Participant centers provided the details of FP cryopreservation approaches broken down annually
