Decreased serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels in girls with newly diagnosed cancer

Decreased serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels in girls with newly diagnosed cancer.

STUDY QUESTION Are anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels reduced in girls with newly diagnosed cancer before the start of treatment? SUMMARY ANSWER AMH levels are already compromised in girls at the time of cancer diagnosis compared with healthy girls. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY In women diagnosed with cancer, evidence of reduced ovarian function has been described even before treatment has starte...

Impact of Chemotherapy on Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) and other Circulating Hormones in Carcinoma Breast

Introduction: Incidence of breast cancer in women varies with age, mammary gland mass and exposure to endogenous and exogenous hormones. Breast cancer grows within a hormonal milieu which plays an important role in its development. Aim: The present study was planned to assess circulating hormone (serum estrogen (E2), progesterone, and testosterone, FSH, LH and AMH) levels in breast cancer patie...

Age-Specific Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone Concentrations in Infertile Iranian Women

Background Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by the granulosa cells of growing follicles during the primary to large antral follicle stages. Abnormal levels of AMH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) may indicate a woman’s diminished ability or inability to conceive. Our aim is to investigate the changes in serum AMH and FSH concentrations at different age groups and its correlation w...
