Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Gliomas.

abstract：:Treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy is associated with significant gonadal damage in men and women. The likelihood of gonadal failure following cytotoxic chemotherapy is dependent on the drug and dose, and in women there is also an effect of age at treatment. Irradiation of the testes or ovaries, ei...
