Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Adjuvant therapy given after surgery for early breast cancer may cause infertility. Assessing young women's attitudes and feelings about the risk of infertility may help improve the ability to plan effective treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying young women's attitudes and feelings about the risk of infertility related to adjuvant therapy for stage I or stage II breast cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the attitude toward the risk of infertility related to adjuvant therapy in women with early breast cancer.
  • Correlate, if possible, the patient's attitude with the fact that the patient already has children or the time interval between the date of breast cancer diagnosis and the date of study participation.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients complete a questionnaire administered by a nontreating physician.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 385 patients will be accrued for this study.
