Fertility desires and outcomes in patients with selected hereditary cancer syndromes

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the fertility desires and pregnancy outcomes among women with newly diagnosed BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1, and MSH2 mutations, aiming to identify gaps in counseling and referral for fertility services. The findings reveal that while a significant portion of women expressed a desire for future fertility, referral rates to reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) specialists and the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) were notably low. The results highlight the need for improved support and resources for young women with hereditary cancer syndromes regarding their reproductive options.
