Abstract

Differentiated thyroid cancer is the most common endocrinological malignancy. Radioiodine treatment has a clear benefit in locally aggressive and metastatic cancers. There are discussions about long-term and acute adverse events.Anti-Müllerian hormone is regarded as the best endocrine marker for evaluating the physiological loss of oocytes in healthy women with regard to age. The impact of radioiodine treatment on anti-Müllerian hormone levels has been more significantly reported in patients over 35 years of age. About reproductive dysfunction, calculations of individual absorbed doses of radioiodine in ovaries after thyroid cancer therapy have not been performed yet. The aim of our ongoing prospective study is to determine serum anti-Müllerian hormone to estimate ovarian reserve for premenopausal women treated with radioiodine and to compare anti-Müllerian hormone levels before and after radioiodine treatment. Predicting radioiodine side effects by evaluating a simple serum biomarker may help to select an appropriate treatment strategy for young women planning pregnancy, specifically in the assessment of ovarian reserve and premature ovarian failure with early onset of menopause.
