Summary

This study tests a decision aid website called Pathways to Fertility for women newly diagnosed with cancer who may face infertility from treatment. About 130 women will use the website or receive standard care to see if it helps them make more informed and less conflicted decisions about preserving their fertility. The goal is to improve decision quality, not to treat the cancer itself.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a proven tool to help women with cancer make clearer, more confident decisions about preserving their fertility before treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral study, not a treatment trial. It measures decision-making, not medical outcomes, so it won't directly improve survival or fertility rates.
