OBJECTIVE
To describe hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA) function in patients treated in childhood for a primary brain tumour more than 5 years earlier, in order to identify risk factors for HPGA impairment.
METHODS
We retrospectively included 204 patients diagnosed with a primary brain tumour before 18 years of age and monitored at the paediatric endocrinology unit of the Necker Enfants-Malades University Hospital (Paris, France) between January 2010 and December 2015. Patients with pituitary adenoma or untreated glioma were excluded.
RESULTS
Among patients with suprasellar glioma not treated by radiotherapy, the prevalence of advanced puberty was 65% overall and 70% when the diagnosis occurred before 5 years of age. Medulloblastoma chemotherapy caused gonadal toxicity in 70% of all patients and 87.5% of those younger than 5 years at diagnosis. In the group with craniopharyngioma, 70% of patients had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which was consistently accompanied with growth hormone deficiency.
CONCLUSIONS
Tumour type, location, and treatment were the risk main factors for HPGA impairment. Awareness that onset can be delayed is essential to guide information of parents and patients, patient monitoring, and timely hormone replacement therapy.
