Cyprus: 30% of women with breast cancer pause treatment for fertility reasons
30% of Cypriot women with breast cancer stopped treatment to preserve their fertility, with 73% concerned about the impact on their ability to conceive. Europa Donna Cyprus called for an awareness program to inform cancer patients about fertility preservation options like oocyte or sperm cryopreservation. The cost of these procedures is estimated at €2,000 to €2,500, with discussions on potentially having the state cover these expenses for cancer patients.
