Background: Chemotherapy-related amenorrhea(CRA)is associated with infertility and may impact treatment decision-making.We investigated whether anti-mullerian hormone(AMH)levels before chemotherapy predict likelihood of CRA.Methods: 591 patients enrolled on the quality of life substudy of ECOG5103,which randomized breast cancer patients to doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel: 1)alone; 2)with concurrent bevacizumab; or 3)with prolonged bevacizumab.144 of the 195 women who reported a period <12 months before enrollment consented to serum collection prior to chemotherapy.AMH was measured in 143 with available serum.Participants self-reported menstrual frequency at 12 and 18 months after enrollment.12-month CRA was defined as no menses for 6 months before the 12-month survey,and 18-month CRA as no menses for 6 months before the 18-month survey.Fishers exact test was used to identify associations with CRA.Results: Of the 143,16 were excluded due to bilateral oophorectomy or initiation of ovarian function suppression within 12 months,and 2 due to missing data at 12 months.In the remaining 125,median age at enrollment was 45(range 25-55).103(82%)had CRA at 12 months,including 68%of patients = 45(43/63)and 97%of patients >45(60/62).Median pre-chemotherapy AMH was 0.11(range 0.01-8.63).12-month CRA was more likely in women who received bevacizumab(p<0.01),were >45(p<0.01),and had AMH =0.11(p<0.01)pre-treatment.Hormonal tx was not associated with 12-month CRA(p=0.63).100 patients were eligible for 18-month CRA analysis: 81(81%)had CRA,including 63%of patients = 45(33/52)and 100%(48/48)of patients >45.18-month CRA was more likely in women >45(p<0.01)and with AMH =0.11(p<0.01)pre-treatment.Bevacizumab(p=0.15)and hormonal tx(p=0.07)were not statistically significant predictors of 18-month CRA.Conclusions: Pre-chemotherapy AMH predicts risk of CRA at 12 and 18 months,and is a promising biomarker of ovarian reserve in young breast cancer survivors.Longer studies will be needed to ascertain whether lower pre-treatment AMH is associated with increased risk of later infertility.
