摘要
Approximately 1600 women under the age of 40 will be diagnosed with endometrial cancer this year. For these women, preservation of fertility may be one of the most important factors when seeking treatment options. The objective of this article is to review the available literature on fertility-sparing therapy for young women with endometrial cancer. Patient selection, pretreatment testing, treatment regimens, response rates and pregnancy outcomes will be explored. Recommendations regarding this approach for the treatment of endometrial cancer in young women will also be made.
