The effect of radioactive iodine therapy on ovarian function and fertility in female thyroid cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Conclusions Most of the studies indicate that RAI therapy for DTC is not associated with a long-term decrease in pregnancy rates although meta-analyses show a significant decrease in AMH levels after RAI therapy. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these results. We recommend counseling patients about the possible effects of I131 and incorporate today's knowledge in multidisciplinary counseling.
