This current case‐based survey returns the same result, enforcing the information currently given to patients with breast cancer who wish to become pregnant and their medical professionals.…”

“…This survey revealed that the most common method of achieving pregnancy reported by breast oncology departments was natural insemination (69.6%), followed by assisted reproductive technology (15.6%) and intrauterine insemination (14.8%). However, in the patients who visited REI facilities who wished and needed infertility treatment, the 61.6% did not conceive even by infertility treatments including assisted reproductive technology (ART) 14 . To build on these results, we conducted a detailed case‐based survey to assess infertility treatment and pregnancy outcomes after treatment for breast cancer.…”

Aim To assess the impact of breast‐cancer treatment on fertility. Methods We conducted a retrospective, case‐based survey of treatments administered for infertility and pregnancy outcomes after patients underwent treatment for breast cancer. Surveys were distributed to breast oncology facilities and reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) facilities. Results As high as 60% of the pregnancies in women under the age of 35 years occurred spontaneously. Additionally, the fertility rates decreased as age increased (under 35 years of age: 40%, 35–39 years of age: 21%, 40–44 years of age: 10%, respectively). In women who became pregnant after treatment for breast cancer, conception was achieved within 1 to 3 years after beginning to try for pregnancy. Conclusions After treatment for breast cancer, women can expect spontaneous pregnancy, especially if they are under 35 years of age. It is important for patients 35 years of age and older to commence assisted reproductive technology in a timely manner when pursuing fertility after treatment for breast cancer.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. Women with breast cancer need to adapt all aspects of their life following their diagnosis. Aim: To investigate how women with breast cancer make adaptations in their lives to cope with the condition. Methods: A directed content analysis was used for this study and 23 participants were interviewed. The participants included women undergoing a mastectomy and their husbands, oncologists, oncology ward nurses and psychologists. Questions were asked regarding the participants' experiences of their adaptation to a mastectomy and cancer. Results: Data analysis led to the emergence of four dimensions; the physical dimension, self-concept, role-playing and interdependence. These four dimensions consisted of 21 main categories, 59 subcategories and 111 codes. Conclusion: The present study showed that despite the emergence of different coping approaches, women undergoing mastectomy have had various physical and mental problems that lead to role disruption. It is recommended that solutions be adopted to increase the adaptation of these patients.
