Abstract:

The treatment of postcranial fossa tumors and leukemia in childhood can affect reproductive system. Cranial irradiation may cause gonadotrophin deficiency while chemotherapy and spinal irradiation may lead to primary hypogonadism. Reproductive status of 32 female postcranial fossa tumors and leukemia survivals was assessed. Results of the study demonstrated the high prevalence of primary hypogonadism after the treatment. The signs of diminished ovarian reserve in this cohort of patients were found.

Keywords:
