Among 1644 female survivors eligible for SJLIFE, 988 (60.1%) had a campus visit. With phenotype-specific exclusion criteria listed in the consort diagram (Supplementary Figures 1 and 2, available online), 799 remained in the analysis. PM was clinically identified in 30 (prevalence of 3.8%) participants (Table 1). Compared with non-PM survivors, PM survivors were older (mean [SD] = 37.7 [3.2] years vs mean [SD] = 31.5 [6.1] years, t test P < .001) and received higher doses of ovarian radiation (mean [SD] = 7.9 [8.9] Gy vs mean [SD] = 0.7 [3.2] Gy, t test P < .001) and cumulative CED (mean [SD] = 12.0 [8.4] g/m2 vs mean [SD] = 5.2 [6.7] g/m2, t test P < .001; data not shown).
