Fertility Preservation Among Patients With Breast Cancer: A Qualitative Study of Patient and Healthcare Provider Perspectives

Despite longstanding recognition of barriers to FP among patients with cancer, challenges persist, particularly in regional healthcare settings.

These strategies could ensure equitable access to FP services and improve patient outcomes.
