Popis: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective for treating Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL). However, the use of TKIs may decrease the number of collected oocytes during fertility preservation procedures. We report the case of a 19-year-old patient with Ph+ALL for whom 21 oocytes were frozen after controlled ovarian stimulation was initiated 2 days after the completion of 28 days of remission induction therapy with dasatinib. After collecting the oocytes, consolidation therapy was initiated immediately, and a hematopoietic stem cell transplant from her younger brother was scheduled. It is believed that a 2-day withdrawal period is sufficient for fertility preservation or that the effect of dasatinib on the number of oocytes obtained is minimal.
