Infertility Concerns & Solutions For Breast Cancer Patients | Expert Discussion

Описание: In a video, Dr Jay Anam (a breast cancer surgeon from Mumbai) and Dr Aditi S. Trivedi (an obstetrician and infertility expert from Mumbai) engage in a thorough discussion about the treatment of breast cancer and infertility concerns as well as ways to prevent infertility in breast cancer patients.

2:35 Is it feasible for a breast cancer patient to maintain her fertility?
Yes, women with breast cancer can still have children, but this must be done before breast cancer treatment begins.

3:25 Does breast cancer therapy impair fertility, and how may it be avoided?
Yes, the therapy for breast cancer can reduce the number and quality of eggs, which can lead to problems with fertility in women.
Women should consult a fertility specialist to learn how to prevent infertility caused by breast cancer treatment. If the woman is married, we can fertilize her eggs with her husband's sperm and freeze the embryos; if she is still single, we can freeze her eggs so they can be fertilized whenever she chooses in the future.

4:55 Is there an alternative method to preserve fertility in patients with breast cancer, and how can we achieve that?
Whether freezing eggs or embryos, the method of preserving fertility is the same for cancer patients and non-cancer people.

6:15 Could breast cancer flare up as a result of hormone stimulation?
In order to obtain more eggs during IVF, we administer the same hormonal injection at a higher dose. However, some breast cancer patients may test positive for the estrogen receptor, and in this case, we don't want very high estrogen levels, so we use adjuvant treatments like letrozole, tamoxifen, and aromatase inhibitors to prevent this from happening.

7:40 Can the BRCA Gene be stopped from being passed down from one generation to the next?
Yes, fortunately, a preimplantation genetic diagnosis can prevent it.

8:55 How long can eggs be frozen?
You can keep it for a very long time, however, the new art rule says we can keep it for only 10 years. If the national board grants approval, you may store it for longer than 10 years in certain circumstances.

9:35 Can anyone with cancer get IVF before receiving treatment?
Yes, it is still possible to assist a girl who is still without a period in modern times.
and ovarian tissue cryopreservation is an option if she is diagnosed with malignancy.

10:53 How may IVF treatment be started following breast cancer treatment?
You can visit your IVF doctor for therapy as soon as your medical oncologist gives you permission to proceed.

11:30 After receiving cancer therapy, can a woman breastfeed?
Yes, it is entirely secure. Women who have previously experienced breast cancer are still able to breastfeed.

11:50 What exactly are embryo and egg freezing?
Egg retrieval and freezing are typically done on unmarried women. Once the woman is married, we then use the partner's sperm to fertilize the frozen eggs.
and freezing embryos rather than eggs would be the best option for married women.

12:56 How much does in vitro fertilization (IVF) cost?
The cost of the treatment varies between 1.5 and 3 lacs depending on the dosage of gonadotropin necessary, which relies on the patient's age and egg reserve.
