Abstract

Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) during childhood is a rare disease. Its excellent survival rate requires a focus on possible long-term adverse effects. This study aimed to evaluate fertility in female survivors of childhood DTC by assessing various reproductive characteristics combined with anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels (a marker of ovarian reserve).

Methods: Female survivors of childhood DTC, diagnosed at

Conclusions: Female survivors of DTC who received I-131 treatment during childhood do not appear to have major abnormalities in reproductive characteristics nor in predictors of ovarian failure.
