OBJECTIVE We investigated the short-term outcomes and pregnancy rate after a laparoscopic approach to fertility preservation in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). METHODS Clinic-pathologic variants of patients with BOTs who underwent conservative surgery at the Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology between January 2009 and July 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. ...

BACKGROUND Malignant ovarian germ cell tumor is a rare type of disease, which generally has a good prognosis due to the high chemosensitivity of this type of tumor. Fertility preservation is an important issue because malignant ovarian germ cell tumor commonly affects young women. Although conservation is the standard for early stage, it becomes more debatable as the disease progresses to more ...

Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare malignancy of the ovary. This is a case report of a 30-year-old female, presenting with a huge ovarian mass along with multiple gallstones; she was treated by fertility-sparing excision of the mass and cholecystectomy, followed by chemotherapy. She later had an uneventful pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby.

Ovarian fibromas generally occurs in eldery women but also can seen rarely in reproductive aged young patients. Management of patients at reproductive ages with ovarian mass like ovarian fibromas, which can occur in young women, is a challenging subject. Although their benign feature, most of the surgical procedure includes laparotomy and oophorectomy. However laparoscopic surgery could be an o...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To describe the impact of treatment on fertility, discuss fertility-sparing options available for women with breast cancer, and explore pregnancy subsequent to breast cancer. DATA SOURCES Published research, clinical articles, book chapters, and abstracts. DATA SYNTHESIS The risk of amenorrhea associated with alkylating agents in breast cancer survivors is well known. Fer...

BACKGROUND Clear-cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCC) is often diagnosed at childbearing age, or sometimes during treatment for infertility. Therefore, most young women with early-stage CCC wish to preserve their reproductive and endocrine functions if possible. METHODS Clinicopathologic data collected under the central pathological review system were subjected to survival analyses. We analyzed ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present retrospective population-based study was to investigate the oncologic impact of uterine and ovarian preservation (OP) in premenopausal women with stage IA or IC ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). METHODS The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was accessed and a cohort of surgically-staged premenopausal wom...
