Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitors for Early Breast Cancer After Chemotherapy-Induced Amenorrhoea: Caution and Suggested Guidelines

ISIan E. SmithMDMitch DowsettYYYoon Sim Yap

Key Points

  • To evaluate the safety and clinical implications of administering adjuvant aromatase inhibitors in women with chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea and provide clinical guidance.
  • Assessed endocrine therapy selection and the risks of ovarian function recovery during aromatase inhibitor therapy after chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea.
  • Evaluated biochemical monitoring requirements, focusing on the necessity of high-sensitivity immunoassays to detect residual or recovering ovarian activity.
  • Aromatase inhibitor administration can promote unexpected recovery of ovarian function in women experiencing chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea.
  • Accurate detection of ovarian reactivation requires highly sensitive immunoassays to prevent inappropriate endocrine therapy and optimize clinical management.

Abstract

AIs may promote recovery of ovarian function in some women with chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea and should be used with caution. Biochemical monitoring of ovarian function requires highly sensitive immunoassays. Guidelines for the selection and delivery of adjuvant endocrine therapy in such patients are proposed.
