CONCLUSIONS: pET is associated with significant improvement in PR<br />

and trend towards increase IR and OP versus regular ET or DET. Personalization<br />

of the endometrial factor in the diagnostic work-up of the infertile<br />

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have examined levels and the rates of<br />

change of follicular measures of ovarian reserve in cancer survivors over<br />

time. No data exist examining androgen production in this population,<br />

which is important for folliculogenesis and sexual health. This study sought<br />

to examine levels and rate of change in testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone<br />

sulfate (DHEAS) in a cohort of cancer survivors compared to<br />

similar-aged healthy controls.<br />

DESIGN: Prospective cohort.<br />

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants were seen for annual visits<br />

that included early follicular phase hormone analyses and pelvic ultrasounds.<br />

Changes in free testosterone, DHEAS, anti-mullerian hormone<br />

(AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) were modeled over the study<br />

period using random effects linear regression. Exogenous hormone use<br />

was an exclusion criterion.<br />

RESULTS: One hundred and nine cancer survivors (age range 18-39<br />

years, mean 10 years after treatment) and 86 controls were followed<br />

on average for 15 months. The absolute levels of hormones differed between<br />

the groups. In adjusted models, geometric mean (GM) AMH<br />

levels in the cancer survivors at age 30 were 70% lower than in controls<br />
