Background: Early detection and advanced treatment increases the five-year survival rate of patients with cancer. However, long-term cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, can have negative effects, such as infertility. This study aimed to develop a standardized Indonesian questionnaire, which would be used to assess the quality of health care providers’ knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding fertility preservation in patients with cancer. Methods: A pilot study was performed in January and February 2018 at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. An existing questionnaire was translated from English to Indonesian using forward translation, back translation, expert panel, pretesting, and cognitive interviewing. Ten subspecialists in the following departments made up an expert panel, who were involved in pretesting and cognitive interviewing: pediatric hematology-oncology, hematology-oncology/internal medicine, gynecologic oncology, gynecologic immune-endocrinology, radiology-oncology, and surgical oncology. Results: The questionnaire was successfully translated. The ten respondents stated that the maximum age for women’s fertility preservation is 40 years of age (60%), 45 years of age (30%), or had no maximum age (10%). Additionally, the respondents stated that the maximum age for men’s fertility preservation is 40 years of age (30%), 50 years of age (20%), or had no maximum age (50%). The respondents’ knowledge stated that > 50% of them were aware but do not know enough about fertility preservation. The respondents stated that more than 50% of them give feedback agreeing to fertility preservation, and they always give advice about fertility preservation to their patients. Conclusion: The translation of the questionnaire followed translation steps from the World Health Organization and was adjusted based on the expert panel’s comments concerning fertility preservation. This validated questionnaire tool in Indonesian can be used for research purposes and clinical evaluation of fertility preservation among health care providers in Indonesia.

575 Background: Approximately 15% of breast cancers (BC) are diagnosed in reproductive aged women. Management of the disease in this age group frequently includes chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, which can both affect fertility. Considering that age at first delivery has been steadily increasing, young women may face BC before completion of childbearing. Methods: In this prospective study, women referred to our institution for surgical treatment of BC were asked, before their first visit, to fill out a questionnaire regarding their reproductive history and fertility preservation knowledge. Eligible patients included women between the ages of 18 and 45, with a newly diagnosed BC, who had not yet started treatment. Results: Sixty women were eligible with a median age of 40 (range 20-45). 98% of responders (59 out of 60) had been diagnosed within the previous 2 months. 78% (47/60) had a college or post-graduate degree. 80% (48/60) had been pregnant before, while 86.5% (45/52) reported having had children. 81% (47/58) were premenopausal, and only 3 patients reported not having had periods for more than 1 year. 50% of responders (30/60) declared no interest in future childbearing, 25% were definitely interested, and 25% were undecided. However, only 9% (5/57) reported having received information on fertility preservation options before the survey. Women who have been pregnant were significantly less likely to consider fertility preservation options prior to treatment (egg/embryo/ovarian tissue cryopreservation [6% vs. 50%, p=0.001]), or after treatment (egg/embryo donation, surrogacy or adoption [6% vs. 58%, p<0.0001]). Conclusions: This pilot study was designed to gather information on reproductive health of newly diagnosed young BC patients and to assess their willingness to consider various fertility preservation options before or after treatment. Our study population consisted of mostly women who had been pregnant and had children. We found that 50% of the women were unsure or wanted future children. Yet, only 9% had received information on fertility options at diagnosis. This pilot study highlights the need for education and/or intervention in fertility preservation options for young women with breast cancer.
