title: Antral follicle count provides additive information to hormone measures for determining ovarian function in breast cancer survivors.
abstract: In breast cancer survivors, antral follicle count appears to provide data on ovarian function that are independent of antimullerian hormone, FSH, and inhibin B. Therefore, ultrasound appears to be a tool that may not only corroborate, but also add to the accuracy of hormone measures for determining ovarian function in breast cancer survivors.
