Balancing Fertility Preservation and Treatment Efficacy in (Neo)adjuvant Therapy for Adolescent and Young Adult Breast Cancer Patients: a Narrative Review.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewAdolescent and young adult (AYA) breast cancer survivors face a significant risk of infertility due to the gonadotoxic effects of (neo)adjuvant therapy, which complicates their ability to conceive post-treatment. While (neo)adjuvant therapy primarily aims to improve recurrence-free and overall survival, fertility preservation strategies should also be considered for young patients. This narrative review explores recent advancements in fertility preservation techniques, such as oocyte, embryo, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation, and evaluates the feasibility of modifying breast cancer (neo)adjuvant therapy to preserve fertility without compromising survival outcomes. RECENT
findingsOur review highlights that clinical trials with co-primary endpoints of oncological safety and fertility preservation are limited, and substituting standard treatment regimens solely for fertility preservation is currently not recommended. Nevertheless, new clinical studies have emerged that either exclude highly ovarian-toxic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, or omit adjuvant therapy altogether, even if fertility preservation is not their primary endpoint. Unfortunately, many of these trials have not evaluated ovarian toxicity. Notably, since 2020, major oncology organizations, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) have advocated for the routine assessment of ovarian toxicity in all clinical trials. The review underscores the importance of incorporating ovarian toxicity as a standard endpoint in future trials involving premenopausal breast cancer patients to identify treatment regimens that can effectively balance fertility preservation with treatment efficacy.
