title: [Protection of reproduction function in women with Hodgkin's disease in the course of polychemotherapy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate efficiency of estrogen-gestagen treatment for protection of the ovaries during polychemotherapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ultrasonography of the pelvic organs, radioimmunoassay of LH, FSH, prolactin, E2, testosterone were performed in 95 women of child-bearing age with different stages of Hodgkin's disease.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Cytostatic therapy of Hodgkin's disease had ovariotoxic effects and led to amenorrhea in 83% of the examinees. Regular estrogen-gestagen treatment protected ovaries in 86% of the patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is recommended for women to take estrogen-gestagen drugs to protect ovaries during polychemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease.
