Abstract
Purpose: Acute leukemia is the most common form of malignancy in children; however, there is an absence of data regarding the long-term ovarian reserve of female survivors. The purpose of this investigation was to examine potential discrepancies in anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels among female survivors of pediatric acute leukemia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on female survivors aged 2 to 18 years who completed gonadotoxic chemotherapy sessions at least 1 year prior to evaluation. Based on Tanner staging, the participants were divided into pre-pubertal and pubertal groups. Serum AMH, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol were assessed.
Results: Three of 36 participants demonstrated low AMH levels in comparison to the adjusted age-reference range, whereas all participants had normal FSH and LH levels. However, the correlation between cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide and AMH level was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Measurement of AMH level may not be beneficial in individuals who have received a cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide less than 5,400 mg/m2.
期刊介绍：
The Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism Journal is the official publication of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology. Its formal abbreviated title is “Ann Pediatr Endocrinol Metab”. It is a peer-reviewed open access journal of medicine published in English. The journal was launched in 1996 under the title of ‘Journal of Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology’ until 2011 (pISSN 1226-2242). Since 2012, the title is now changed to ‘Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism’. The Journal is published four times per year on the last day of March, June, September, and December. It is widely distributed for free to members of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology, medical schools, libraries, and academic institutions. The journal is indexed/tracked/covered by web sites of PubMed Central, PubMed, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Scopus, EBSCO, EMBASE, KoreaMed, KoMCI, KCI, Science Central, DOI/CrossRef, Directory of Open Access Journals(DOAJ), and Google Scholar. The aims of Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism are to contribute to the advancements in the fields of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism through the scientific reviews and interchange of all of pediatric endocrinology and metabolism. It aims to reflect the latest clinical, translational, and basic research trends from worldwide valuable achievements. In addition, genome research, epidemiology, public education and clinical practice guidelines in each country are welcomed for publication. The Journal particularly focuses on research conducted with Asian-Pacific children whose genetic and environmental backgrounds are different from those of the Western. Area of specific interest include the following : Growth, puberty, glucose metabolism including diabetes mellitus, obesity, nutrition, disorders of sexual development, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, bone or other endocrine and metabolic disorders from infancy through adolescence.
