First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to understand how chemotherapy impacts the ability to have children in young women (ages 18-37) with breast cancer. Researchers measured ovarian reserve (egg supply) using hormone levels and follicle counts before, during, and up to 24 months after treatment. The goal was to provide better fertility information and help personalize fertility preservation options.
