Perspectives on fertility preservation among women living with breast cancer in Ghana.

ABSTRACT: As advanced-stage breast cancer is increasingly diagnosed among women of reproductive age, treatment involving gonadotoxic chemoradiation could compromise fertility. Fertility preservation (FP) offers breast cancer survivors the opportunity to have biological children following cancer treatment. However, in Ghana, little is known about the lived experience of women with breast cancer and their access or barriers to FP services. This study explored the knowledge, attitudes, and challenges regarding FP among Ghanaian women undergoing breast cancer treatment. Using a qualitative design approach, we explored the FP perspectives and experiences of women undergoing breast cancer treatment at an Oncology & Radiotherapy Centre in a tertiary hospital in Ghana. Participants were purposively selected
