چکیده
On average, over 25000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 45 annually in the United States.

In this review, we will outline the currently available fertility preservation options for women with breast cancer of reproductive age, discuss the controversy behind hormonal suppression for gonadal protection against chemotherapy and highlight the importance of timely referral by cancer care providers.
