Data on medical gynaecological history, cancer diagnoses and therapy were collected from 167 female LS patients and compared to a population-based control cohort. There was no difference between the age of menopause in patients compared to controls and no evidence for a higher risk of POF in LS patients. However, around one third (35%) of the probands have already had premenopausal cancer and mostly cancer-related treatment affecting fertility before the age of 45 years. Therefore, childbearing time might still be limited in these patients, especially due to the premenopausal cancer risk. LS patients should be informed in time about the elevated premenopausal cancer risks and the possible impact on family planning. This is particularly relevant since the average childbearing age has increased during the last decades.</p>","PeriodicalId":12336,"journal":{"name":"Familial Cancer","volume":" ","pages":"473-478"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11512894/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139570136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Family planning decisions remained largely unaffected in both confirmed and at-risk carriers; however, the majority of confirmed carriers were still unaware of their familial or personal cancer risk when starting a family. More than 60% of the participants were unfamiliar with PGT and only a minority (19% of confirmed carriers and 10% of at-risk carriers) would be open to considering PGT as a reproductive option. This study found different attitudes toward genetic testing, family planning, and PGT among individuals affected by the CDKN2A PV.
