“…The aims of the studies included the investigation of the reproductive knowledge, experiences, and/or concerns of women with a chronic health condition (Avis et al, 2004;Balthazar, Fritz, & Mersereau, 2011;Carter et al, 2007;Chuang, Velott, & Weisman, 2010;Connell, Patterson, & Newman, 2006;Coyne & Borbasi, 2007;Crawshaw, Glaser, Hale, & Sloper, 2009;Crawshaw & Sloper, 2010;Dunn & Steginga, 2000;Gorman, Bailey, Pierce, & Su, 2011;Gorman, Usita, Madlensky, & Pierce, 2011;Jukkala, Azuero, McNees, Bates, & Meneses, 2010;Korzeniewska et al, 2009;Peate et al, 2011b;Sawyer et al, 1995a;Wilkes, Coulson, Crosland, Rubin, & Stewart, 2010;Zanagnolo et al, 2005); sources and quality of childbearing information (Barriere et al, 2007;Fair, Griffiths, & Osman, 2000;Johannesson et al, 1998); women's fertility information needs (Avery & Braunack-Mayer, 2007;Crawford & Hudson, 2003;Karaoz et al, 2010;Meneses et al, 2010;Thewes et al, 2003;Thewes et al, 2005); and the relationship between women's reproductive concerns and their quality of life (Canada & Schover, 2012;Gorman et al, 2010;Wenzel et al, 2005).…”

“…Canada and Schover (2012) found that even 10 years after a cancer diagnosis, distress about interrupted childbearing persists, particularly in childless women. Although these results pertain only to women with cancer, they suggest that the provision of childbearing information may improve women's quality of life and reduce their childbearing concerns (Balthazar et al, 2011;Jukkala et al, 2010).…”

“…These concerns may reflect differences between the childbearing information women want and the information, if any, they receive (Crawford & Hudson, 2003). Most studies have investigated the childbearing concerns only of women with cancer and cystic fibrosis, but there is evidence that providing information may reduce women's concerns and distress (Balthazar et al, 2011;Jukkala et al, 2010).…”

“…Despite their concerns, women often have limited knowledge about the impact of their condition and its treatment on fertility (Balthazar et al, 2011;Chuang et al, 2010;Jukkala et al, 2010;Korzeniewska et al, 2009;Sawyer et al, 1995a;Wilkes et al, 2010). For example, Korzeniewska and colleagues (2009) found that only 33% of Polish women diagnosed with cystic fibrosis understood the fertility problems associated with their condition.…”

Background Commonly used chemotherapies can be toxic to the ovaries. To the authors’ knowledge, the majority of studies evaluating receipt of fertility counseling for women in their reproductive years have been performed in specific settings, thereby limiting generalizability. Methods A nationwide sample of US women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45 years completed a survey assessing the prevalence of fertility counseling. Age‐adjusted log‐binomial regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% CIs for fertility counseling. Results Among 432 survivors diagnosed between 2004 and 2011, 288 (67%) had not discussed the effects of treatment on fertility with a health care provider before or during treatment. Fertility discussion was associated with younger age (PR, 3.49 [95% CI, 2.66‐4.58] for aged <35 years vs ≥40 years) and lower parity (PR, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.29‐2.53] for parity 1 vs 2). Approximately 20% of respondents reported that they were interested in future fertility (87 of 432 respondents) at the time of their diagnosis, but not all of these individuals (66 of 87 respondents) received counseling regarding the impact of treatment on their fertility, and few (8 of 87 respondents) used fertility preservation strategies. Among 68 women with a fertility interest who provided reasons for not taking steps to preserve fertility, reasons cited included concern for an adverse impact on cancer treatment (56%), lack of knowledge (26%), decision to not have a child (24%), and cost (18%). Conclusions Across multiple treatment settings, the majority of women of reproductive age who are diagnosed with breast cancer did not discuss fertility with a health care provider or use fertility preservation strategies. Discussing the potential impact of cancer treatment on future fertility is an important aspect of patient education.
