- Abstract
Standard methods to prevent chemotherapy-induced early menopause in young, breast cancer patients are unavailable to date. Preclinical data has suggested that luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogs given during treatment can decrease the gonado-toxicity induced by chemotherapy. This phase II study aimed to assess the activity of such a method in young, breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy.
