Summary

This study tested whether an online decision support tool helps young women (18-40) with breast cancer make more informed choices about preserving their fertility before starting cancer treatment. 186 participants either received standard oral information alone or used the online tool beforehand. Researchers measured decision-making quality and anxiety levels.
