Summary
Although cancer usually affects aged population, invasive gynecological tumors can occur during reproductive age. Long-term survival rates after gynecological cancer are improving and preservation of fertility has logically become a major issue.
In gynecologic oncologic surgery, there has been gradual development of fertility-saving surgery (FSS) with the aim of preserving the reproductive organs. Survival should not be compromised and thus indications are restricted to patients of a young age with a desire to preserve fertility and presenting with a well-differentiated cervical, ovarian, or endometrial low-grade tumor in its early stages or with low malignant potential.
In this chapter, we discuss indications for FSS in women with gynecological cancer, according to oncological and reproductive outcomes.
