Summary
Cancer is one of the most important public health problems all around the world. It is the second leading cause of death globally. Thousands of young women are diagnosed with different types of hematological and solid malignancies every year, and exposed to cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens and radiation [1]. In the United States, the ten leading cancer types in females are breast, lung and bronchus, colon and rectum, thyroid, melanoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), pancreas, leukemia, and kidney and renal pelvis [2]. In Europe, hematological malignancies account for around 9% of all cancers and are the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer in both men (after prostate, lung, and colorectal) and women (after breast, lung, and colorectal) [3]. For all cancers combined, the five-year relative survival rate is 68%. The survival is highest for prostate cancer (99%), melanoma of the skin (92%), and female breast cancer (90%) and lowest for cancers of the pancreas (8%), lung (18%), and liver (18%)
