Breast cancer may harm egg quality before treatment even starts
NCT ID NCT07148141
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how breast cancer itself may affect a woman's ability to have children later. Researchers are comparing egg quality and hormone responses in 100 women with breast cancer versus healthy egg donors. The goal is to understand why cancer can reduce the number and quality of eggs retrieved for fertility preservation, and to find ways to improve future fertility treatments based on cancer type.
