RECRUITING

Serum Biomarkers to Characterize the Effects of Therapy on Ovarian Reserve in Premenopausal Women With Early-stage Breast Cancer or BRCA Mutations

Lead Sponsor:

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Collaborating Sponsors:

Yale University

New York Presbyterian Hospital

Conditions:

Breast Cancer

Eligibility:

FEMALE

18-44 years

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of your BRCA mutation on the ovaries. The BRCA gene can make it hard to conceive a child in the future. It may also bring on early menopaus...
