Objective: The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate fertility in the Philadelphia-negative MPN male patients and the effect of treatment received on male fertility and the outcome. Methodology: This is a single-center, mixed-design study (retrospective + phone interviews) conducted within the National Center for Cancer Care and Research. Results: 120 patients were interviewed, only 19 patients (15.7%) had met the inclusion criteria. The majority of patients had lost follow-up or cannot be contacted, and 29.1% of patients had their families completed by the time of diagnosis. The treatment received includes hydroxyurea, interferon, and ruxolitinib. The mode of delivery was normal vaginal delivery in 68% of the pregnancies. The total number of conceptions was 27; three stillbirths were reported. Conclusion: The data showed that most MPN male patients on treatment had their offspring born normally with no delivery complications, no reported congenital anomaly or growth retardation, and no report of MPN-related cancers. Though, further studies with a larger sample size are required to fully understand the effect of medications on the outcome of fatherhood in Philadelphia negative MPN patients. |
