Not only is this child or young adult experiencing menopause and infertility, but their life expectancy can be reduced by 2 years from additional comorbidities that result from the lack of gonadal hormones that are no longer produced by those ovaries.
For example, a normal ovary has about 300,000 follicles or potential eggs at the time of birth. This number declines steadily as the patient ages until reaching menopause around age 50.

quoteCancer treatments, while life preserving, can have off-target effects. This includes gonadal failure, which in this case refers to a lack of or decrease in the function of the reproductive organs due to cancer therapies, thus limiting or destroying the patient's ability to produce offspring in the future.↗

quoteThere is a significant desire for better quality of life parameters and childhood cancer survivors. And one of the top quality of life parameters that are of importance is the loss of control over reproductive future.↗
