Summary

This trial looks at a program to help cancer patients understand and manage their fertility risks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pre-menopausal women aged 15-55 with a new cancer diagnosis, including those pregnant or with DCIS.

Women who've started chemo, radiation, endocrine therapy, or had certain sterilizing surgeries can't join.
What is being tested?
The study evaluates a reproductive health program designed to help female cancer patients understand and manage reproductive risks while pursuing their fertility goals. It includes standard practices plus training modules and referral development tailored to each patient's needs.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational programs rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects related to drugs or procedures. However, learning about fertility options may cause emotional or psychological impact.
