Abstract

Recent decades have seen a progressive increase in survival after several cancers, a trend that is set to continue with rapid improvements in molecular diagnostics and novel targeted and immunologic-based therapies. Breast cancer, the most common cancer diagnosis in adult women, is among those diagnoses with the highest survival rates, further improved by a growing armory of novel therapies supporting established cytotoxic chemotherapeutic treatments. Curative-intent chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer are traditionally based on cyclophosphamide, anthracyclines, and taxanes and, now increasingly, platinums and are known to be markedly gonadotoxic with high rates of after treatment premature ovarian insufficiency.
