Impact and Timing of Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy and Fertility Preservation
In conclusion, the impact that breast radiation appears to have on fertility is low and, in our opinion, should not result in patients choosing mastectomy over breast conservation therapy due to fears of infertility. However, further studies specifying the patients receiving breast radiation and requiring fertility preservation methods are warranted to help reassure patients and their providers.
