Abstract: For breast cancer among youth, overtreatment should be avoided to reduce toxic effects on reproductive function while maintaining acceptable therapeutic effect on cancer. Research has indicated that breast cancer can have a relatively small treatment-related threat to fertility among youth patients if the timing of pregnancy after breast cancer is optimized. Pregnancy and childbirth have not been associated with recurrence and survival among early stage breast cancer.
