Advances in treatment of acute leukemia and long-term ovarian function in children and adolescents
Acute leukemia(AL)is a common hematological malignancy in children and adolescents.Chemotherapy is currently the primary treatment for AL.Alternative therapies,such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT),targeted therapy,and immunotherapy also offer greater hope for the survival of refractory/relapsed patients.Chemotherapeutic drugs,radiotherapy,targeted drugs and immunotherapeutic drugs are well-applied clinically,meanwhile posing threats to non-target systems.The adverse effects on the reproductive system may lead to the dilemma of infertility,thus reducing the long-term quality of life.As the survival rate of AL patients keeps increasing continuously,the influence of different treatments on the gonad function needs to be clarified.With the help of targeted fertility prevention,the patient's quality of life can be enhanced in parallel with life span.This article aims to review the impact of AL treatment on ovarian function in female children and adolescents and provide ideas for the long-term fertility protection of leukemia patients.
