OC is disproportionately provided to younger, nulliparous patients with advanced disease; however, all young breast cancer patients can benefit from OC, given the impact of cytotoxic and endocrine therapies on reproductive health. Breast surgeons' early role in the care of breast cancer patients offers an underutilized opportunity for OC. All providers should be prepared to discuss the impact of patients' diagnoses on fertility to maximize patient education and access to fertility preservation.
