## Abstract Investigations of adult patients have shown that chemotherapy causes gonadal damage, but much less information is available about the impact of chemotherapy on gonadal function in children with malignant disease. At one time, being prepubertal during therapy was thought to confer some p
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) was performed on 29 long-term survivors of childhood cancer. The patients, whose mean age was 11.7 years and whose mean age at diagnosis was 3.7 years, included 12 females and 17 males. Original diagnoses included 15 patients with leukemia and 14 individuals with sol
We evaluated reproductive function in 27 male long-term survivors of childhood cancer treated during the prepubertal and pubertal period. Sperm samples were obtained from 23 patients; four who refused to provide specimens indicated that they had fathered normal healthy children. Thirteen patients we
