To evaluate the attitude of pre menopausal women with breast cancer faced with the risk of loss of fertility caused by chemotherapy using EORTC's Fertility Questionnaire.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

To characterize the attitude of pre menopausal patients with breast cancer regarding the risks of infertility based on the following variables:

  • Age at diagnosis
  • Number of children
  • Will of having children
  • Marital status
  • Scholarity
  • Period of time from the diagnosis
  • Time of the last menstruation period
  • Chemotherapy administration
  • Clinical staging at the diagnosis
  • Pathological evaluation
  • Documentation of the cancer therapy

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 40 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women with age ≥ 18 and ≤ 40
  • Indication of (neo) adjuvant chemotherapy
  • Prior chemotherapy treatment
  • Patients with menstrual periods in the last 6 months
  • In use of contraceptive methods
  • Without breast cancer recurrence
  • Capacity to read and understand the informed consent

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To analyze the number of pre-menopausal patients diagnosed with breast cancer that did not agree in receiving chemotherapy due to the risk of infertility
Time Frame: Baseline and 1 year after after the first interview
Baseline and 1 year after after the first interview

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Marital status
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Infertility risk for breast cancer patients after accepting chemotherapy

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2015

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
