Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Ovarian Failure With Goserelin in Premenopausal Lymphoma Patients

To Prevent Chemotherapy Induced Ovarian Failure with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone Agonist Goserelin in Young female Lymphoma Cancer patients Receiving Chemotherapy

Design:

Study will be prospective interventional simple randomized control parallel open label Arms and Interventions Arm 1: Goserelin plus standard chemotherapy Goserelin will be given as a 3.6 mg subcutaneous injection in the abdominal wall every 4 weeks (28 ± 3 days) plus standard chemotherapy at start of regimen for 3 months (26) Arm 2 (control Arm): Standard chemotherapy Patients will take only standard chemotherapy for 3 months Setting: oncology department Beni Suef university hospital Sample size: 80 patients (based on the results from the literature and to ensure a power of 80% and a type I error probability of 5%. we calculate Effect size Primary Outcome Measures

Evaluating ovarian function by: at the start of treatment and after 3 cycles chemotherapy treatment and at end of 6 cycles chemotherapy through:

• FSH level (follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH))
• Estradiol level
• AMH level follow up time time frame 1 year follow up after chemotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures:

• Overall All Response determined by tumor assessments from radiological tests including one of the following (computed tomography scan, Magnetic resonance imaging Positron-emission tomography or physical examinations according RECIL 2017 criteria.
• Adverse events (Sweating, Hot flushes, vaginal bleeding, vaginal dryness. Headaches)

2. Normal FSH-level , estradiol level (FSH levels less than 10IU/L at the time of random assignment)
3. Female Age between 17- 40 years
4. Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria:

The patients will be excluded from the study if they have the following criteria:
