To evaluate the effect of hypothalamic/pituitary radiation (HPT RT) dose on the occurrence of first pregnancy.
Retrospective cohort study of childhood cancer 5-year survivors (CCS) diagnosed between 1970 and 1986 before 21 years of age at one of 26 North American pediatric cancer treatment centers.
Self-administered questionnaire.
PATIENT(S): A total of 3,619 female CCS who participated in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and received no or scatter (≤0.1 Gy) radiation to the ovaries and 2,081 female siblings (Sibs) of the participants.
INTERVENTION(S): None.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Self-reported pregnancy events.
RESULT(S): As a group, CCS were as likely to report being pregnant as Sibs (hazard ratio 1.07, 95% confidence interval 0.97-1.19). Multivariable models showed a significant decrease in the risk of pregnancy with HPT RT doses≥22 Gy compared with those CCS receiving no HPT RT.
CONCLUSION(S): These results support the hypothesis that exposures of 22-27 Gy HPT RT may be a contributing factor to infertility among female CCS.
评估下丘脑/垂体放疗(HPT RT)剂量对首次妊娠发生的影响。
对 26 个北美儿科癌症治疗中心之一的 21 岁以下于 1970 年至 1986 年期间诊断为儿童癌症的 5 年幸存者(CCS)的回顾性队列研究。
自我管理问卷。
共有 3619 名女性 CCS 参加了儿童癌症幸存者研究,未接受卵巢或散射(≤0.1 Gy)照射,2081 名参与者的女性同胞(Sibs)。
无。
自我报告的妊娠事件。
作为一个群体,CCS 报告怀孕的可能性与 Sibs 一样(风险比 1.07,95%置信区间 0.97-1.19)。多变量模型显示,与未接受 HPT RT 的 CCS 相比,HPT RT 剂量≥22 Gy 的妊娠风险显著降低。
这些结果支持以下假设:22-27 Gy HPT RT 暴露可能是女性 CCS 不孕的一个因素。
