Abstract

Childhood cancer treatment may compromise ovarian function in female childhood cancer survivors (CCSs), leading to delayed or arrested puberty, infertility, subfertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This Dutch nationwide retrospective cohort study collected measurements performed between 2008 and 2014. In total, 1749 female 5-year CCSs, diagnosed before age 18 years between 1963 and 2002 and 1201 controls were invited to participate. Ovarian reserve was assessed by anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin B levels, and antral follicle counts (AFC). In total, 564 CCSs and 390 controls participated in the clinical part of the study.
