Objective: To compare the rate of premature ovarian failure (POF) after stem cell transplantation (SCT) in young women receiving GnRH-agonist (GnRH-a) in conjunction with gonadotoxic chemotherapy.Design: Prospective, nonrandomized study.Setting: Tertiary university hospital.Patient(s): Ninety-five women received conditioning chemotherapy, with or without GnRH-a before SCT. Complete information was available for only 83 patients.Intervention(s): Conditioning chemotherapy, with or without GnRH-a before SCT.Main Outcome Measure(s): Cyclic ovarian function (COF) or POF after SCT.Result(s): There were no significant differences in age, chemotherapy treatment, or diagnoses between the study and control groups. In the GnRH-a group, 38.3% (18/47) patients resumed COF, compared with 11.1% (4/36) for patients who did not receive GnRH-a. Patients who resumed COF were on average 3.7 years (median, 3 years) younger at the time of transplantation than those who experienced POF. GnRH-a had a significant effect on long-term COF in patients with lymphomas (66.7% [14/21] for GnRH-a group vs. 18.2% [2/11] for control) but not for leukemia patients.Conclusion(s): GnRH-a cotreatment in conjunction with conditioning chemotherapy before SCT may significantly decrease the gonadotoxicity and POF from 82% to 33% in lymphoma but not in leukemia patients.
