Abstract

The protective effects of gonadotropin‑releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) against ovarian chemotherapy induced‑toxicity have not completely been demonstrated and the impact of chemotherapy on ovarian dysfunction remains unclear. The present meta‑analysis aimed to evaluate the efficiency of GnRHa and to determine whether GnRHa could influence the long‑term survival rate of patients with cancer. A total of 12 clinical randomized controlled trials were included, consisting of 1,413 patients who were divided into the GnRHa group (n=705) and the control group (n=708). The meta‑analysis revealed that GnRHa may significantly improve the menstrual function recovery rate in patients who received chemotherapy [RR=1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.09‑1.54, P=0.004] and reduce the rate of premature ovarian failure (RR=0.47, 95% CI=0.31‑0.71, P=0.0004). However, it had no effect on the pregnancy rate (RR=1.40, 95% CI=0.98‑1.98, P=0.06), on the rate of disease‑free survival and overall survival of patients (disease‑free survival rate: RR=1.04, 95% CI=0.95‑1.13, P=0.40; overall survival rate: RR=1.02, 95% CI=0.90‑1.16, P=0.72). In conclusion, GnRHa may reduce chemotherapy‑induced ovarian dysfunction without compromising or influencing the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy.
