Abstract 2916
Background
AMH is a promising biomarker of treatment-induced gonadal damage. The impact of carrying a deleterious germline BRCA mutation, adding a taxane to anthracycline-based CT and using adjuvant ET on gonadal function following CT remains unclear. We assessed the influence of these 3 factors on AMH levels before and after adjuvant CT in EBC patients.
Methods
This monocentric retrospective study included consecutive EBC patients aged ≤40 years treated with adjuvant FEC CT between 2008 and 2016, known germline BRCA status and available frozen plasma samples before and after CT. AMH levels (ng/mL) were assessed before starting CT, 1 year and over 3 year after diagnosis.
Results
148 patients were included. 35 (24%) patients harbored a deleterious germline BRCA mutation, 127 (86%) received a taxane following FEC CT and 90 (61%) had adjuvant ET after CT. Overall median age was 35 (range 22-40). In the whole cohort, median AMH levels dropped after adjuvant CT (from 1.69 to 0.06, p < 0.0001) and slightly recovered after 3 years (0.17, p < 0.0001). No difference in baseline (1.94 vs 1.66, p = 0.53), 1-year (0.09 vs 0.06, p = 0.39) or 3-year (0.25 vs 0.16, p = 0.43) AMH levels was observed between patients with or without a BRCA mutation. Significant lower AMH levels were observed for patients who received a FEC-taxane regimen as compared to those treated with FEC only CT 1 year after diagnosis (0.04 vs 0.22, p = 0.0006), with no difference at 3 years (0.18 vs 0.06, p = 0.47). Patients treated with adjuvant ET had slightly higher AMH levels than those who did not receive ET 1 year after diagnosis (0.12 vs 0.02, p = 0.008) with no difference at 3 years (0.11 vs 0.20, p = 0.22).
Conclusions
Use of adjuvant CT is associated with a significant and durable alteration in ovarian reserve measured by AMH levels. Addition of taxanes to FEC increased CT-induced gonadotoxicity immediately after CT exposure but not at longer follow-up. Carrying a germline BRCA mutation and using adjuvant ET following CT were not associated with additional negative impact on patients’ ovarian reserve after treatment.
