Eleonora Teplinsky: The POSITIVE Trial SABCS23 updates are so important to help with oncofertility counseling

Eleonora Teplinsky shared on X/Twitter:

“The POSITIVE Trial SABCS23 updates are so important to help with oncofertility counseling.

1) 94% of patients who reported amenorrhea at time of enrollment recovered menses and most during the first 6 months.
2) Younger age correlated to a shorter time to pregnancy. The use of chemotherapy, addition of GnRH agonists (Lupron/Zoladex), prior endocrine therapy, prior birth, menstrual status at time of enrollment did not impact time to pregnancy.
3) Embryo/oocyte cryopreservation at BC diagnosis, embryo transfer after endocrine therapy interruption had higher pregnancy rates and not associated with worse prognosis.
4) No increase in breast cancer events in patients undergoing IVF on study.”
