Long term follow-up for the Fertility Decision Aid
|
|
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in reproductive aged women and many women are diagnosed before they have started or completed their families. Fortunately, survival from early breast cancer is almost at 90%. These women then need to deal with the consequences of treatment, such as potential infertility. Research has shown that fertility is a priority amongst these women and concerns about how cancer treatment impacts fertility may influence cancer treatment decisions. Thus, being able to provide women with information about how their fertility will be affected by treatment is important. This can help them to make decision around fertility preservation prior to starting adjuvant treatment. To address this need, a fertility preservation decision aid was developed. The aim of this study is conduct a long term follow-up study of the women who originally evaluated the decision aid to assess the long term impact of the Decision Aid.
