Purpose: Accurate diagnosis and prediction of loss of ovarian function after chemotherapy for premenopausal women with early breast cancer (eBC) is important for future fertility and clinical decisions regarding the need for subsequent adjuvant ovarian suppression. We have investigated the value of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) as serum...

It is well established that cancer and its treatment, whether by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, or surgery, can adversely impact reproductive function in both women and men. The effects of cancer treatment on reproductive function in both sexes may lead to loss of fertility, sexual desire and function, and hormone deficiency,...

Purpose: As a further step to elucidate the actual diverse spectrum of oncofertility practices for breast cancer around the globe, we present and discuss the comparisons of oncofertility practices for breast cancer in limited versus optimum resource settings based on data collected in the Repro-Can-OPEN Study Part I & II. Methods: We surveyed...

BACKGROUND: The potential gonadotoxicity of anti-HER2 agents remains largely unknown, and limited, conflicting evidence exists for taxanes. Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) is an established biomarker of ovarian reserve that may aid in quantifying anticancer treatment-induced gonadotoxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The present biomarker analysis of...
