Breast cancer in young adults poses unique challenges, including specific cancer types and diagnostic difficulties. Treatment decisions must weigh individual factors, especially regarding immuno-oncology and chemotherapy. Pregnancy complicates treatment but can yield similar outcomes with proper management. Early discussions on fertility preservation are vital. Genetic testing is advised due to distinct survivorship issues, emphasising the need for coordinated care to meet this population's comprehensive needs.
