Background: Some treatment exposures for childhood cancer reduce ovarian reserve. Registry-based evaluation has not been conducted for assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes of female survivors. Methods: The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, a retrospective cohort of five-year survivors and siblings, was linked to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System (SART CORS), which captures nationwide, CDC-required reporting of ART outcomes. We assessed live birth rate and relative risk (RR, 95% CI) as a function of treatment exposure, using generalized estimating equation to account for multiple ovarian stimulations per subject. Results: Among 9885 female survivors, 137 (1.4%; median age at diagnosis 10 years, range 0-20; 11 years of follow-up, 2-11) underwent 243 ART cycles (mean 1.8 cycles) and among 2419 siblings, 33 (1.4%) underwent 60 ART cycles (mean 1.8). Median age at autologous egg retrieval was 30 years (19-44) for survivors and 34 (24-43) for siblings. In the subset using autologous eggs (Table), 99 survivors underwent 155 ovarian stimulation cycles that resulted in 113 embryo transfers and 49 live births for a live birth rate of 32% per ovarian stimulation and 43% per transfer. Sibling live birth rate was 38% (p = 0.39 compared to survivors) per autologous ovarian stimulation and 53% (p = 0.33) per transfer. 38 survivors and 1 sibling underwent egg donor ovarian stimulation cycles. Two survivors used autologous eggs with gestational carriers and one cycle resulted in live birth. Cranial radiation therapy (RT) [RR 0.48 (0.27-0.87) p = 0.02] and pelvic RT [0.30 (0.14-0.66) p = 0.002], compared with no RT, resulted in lower RR of live birth in survivors. The likelihood of live birth after ART in survivors was not impacted by alkylator exposure [CED < 8000 mg/m2 vs. none: 1.14 (0.65-2.02); CED >8000 mg/m2 vs none: 1.07 (0.06-1.91)]. Conclusions: While live birth rates among survivors were lower compared with siblings, differences were not statistically significant. Pelvic and cranial RT were associated with a decreased likelihood of live birth, with no association with alkylator exposure identified.
