Project Title The Patient-Physician Interface: How Breast Cancer Patients Navigate Fertility Concerns and Treatment Options
Researcher Karrie Snyder, PhD (IRB Approval STU00012672)
Study Summary This study, being conducted at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, is exploring how younger women (18- 40 years old) and their doctors discuss cancer treatments and fertility, how newly diagnosed women make treatment choices (including fertility conserving treatment options), and how fertility issues impact these women’s lives after cancer. The study is also examining how having a breast cancer diagnosis influences a woman’s life after cancer, including her future family plans and family relationships. The researchers need 15 African-American women who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the past 3 years for their study.

•You are an African-American woman
•You were diagnosed with breast cancer within the last three years
•You were between the ages of 18 – 40 when you were diagnosed with breast cancer
•You live in the United States
What Does Participation Involve? If you join this study you will be asked to participate in a phone interview and be asked questions related to your breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, and family planning. The phone interview will last approximately 60 minutes.
