Abstract:
The majority of women diagnosed with early-stage breast-cancer have an excellent long-term prognosis, but many still suffer from worsened life quality and infertility caused by chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea(CIA). The risk of CIA varies by patient age, but is not significantly influenced by chemotherapeutic regimens. CIA will improve disease-free survival and overall survival for patients with hormonal receptor positive tumors. For low-risk patients and patients with the intention of maintaining fertility, proper treatments need to be chosen to preserve their reproductive function.
