Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common female neoplasm in Poland and worldwide, yet up to 7% of all cases are diagnosed <40 years of age. Increased BC morbidity rate in this age group as well as hopes for late maternity need special attention. Chemotherapy constitutes an important element of complex therapy, but it may lead to fertility impairment. Therefore, it is vital that every woman of reproductive age should be informed about the consequences of oncological treatment and about (onco)fertility preservation techniques prior to therapy, which decrease the fear and improve psychological aspects of QoL.
