Original Title:
Η προγνωστική αξία της ΑΜΗ (anti-Mullerian Hormone) σε ασθενείς που εντάσσονται σε πρόγραμμα υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής, σε καλοήθεις και κακοήθεις παθήσεις του μαστού και των ωοθηκών
Translated title:
The Anti-Mullerian Hormone as an important predictor of ovarian cancer, infertility and prognosis of IVF
Summary:
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of AMH in relation to FSH, LH, the number of follicles, the quality of eggs and pregnancies of patients before IVF, and the AMH levels in benign and malignant diseases of the breast and ovaries.
Methods: The study population consisted of patients in assisted reproduction, before their inclusion in a program. Sample hormonal determinations were made using the AMH Gen II ELISA and the statistical analysis with the SPSS statistical package, version 17.00 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).
Results: The results showed that AMH (AUC: 0.618; 0.30-0.93, p=0.474) is not statistically significant predictor of breast cancer, while is a reliable predictor of ovarian cancer (AUC: 0.732; 0.56-0.91, p = 0.011). AMH (AUC: 0.614; 0.52-0.71, p = 0,015) showed a statistically significant association with infertility, age (r = -0.261 p = 0,005), the FSH (r = -0.226 p = 0,017), the LH (r = 0.236 p = 0,012), the follicle (r = 0.527 p <0,001) and ova (r = 0.452 p <0,001).
Conclusions: The present study showed that AMH appears as an important predictor of ovarian cancer, infertility, and prognosis of IVF. Instead, it was not a good predictor in breast cancer. As the research sample is small, further research is needed, as with a widely accepted indicator of AMH.
