In young breast cancer
patients diagnosed during their reproductive years, the possible occurrence of
treatment-induced premature ovarian insufficiency is of particular concern

as well as infertility. Over the past years, solid evidence has been
accumulated to support the management of young patients facing issues related
to fertility preservation and specific guidelines have been developed to help
physicians in dealing with this topic.
