The issue of fertility preservation in patients with cervical cancer is getting more and more common considering the improved effectiveness of early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There is a number of evidence-based tactics available to the patients with diagnosed cervical cancer. These tactics have been proved effective and include methods such as ovarian transposition; oocyte, embryo and ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Nonetheless, there are no existing medical algorithms to define the priority of actions that should be taken in such cases of restricted time. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight an existing concern towards the decision-making process regarding fertility preservation in patients with cervical cancer.In this paper we report a clinical case of fertility preservation tactics in a patient undergone ovarian transposition. We pay attention to particular features of the controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and oocyte retrieval process typical for such patients. The article discusses the subject of COS and oocyte retrieval effectiveness compared to patients who did not undergo ovarian transposition. The 35-year old patient presented 9 month after ovarian transposition to perform oocyte cryopreservation. As a result of COS 3 oocytes were aspirated, compared to 20 oocytes in another patient of comparable age and medical history, but with no ovarian transposition performed.Regarding particular conditions constraining ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval after ovarian transposition, we recommend to consider the possibility of performing oocyte/embryo cryopreservation before ovarian transposition in patients with cervical cancer. Prioritizing oocyte and embryo cryopreservation in case of having sufficient time before treatment could significantly improve possibilities of achieving genetically related offspring in a long-term perspective.
Aim. To define the management of realization of reproductive function implementation in patients experienced atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer IA stage.
Materials and methods. 150 patients aged 2142 years were included. Among them 78 patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (group 1) and 72 with endometrial cancer IA stage (group 2). General clinical, anamnestic and laboratory examination and follow-up with monitoring of gonadotropins and steroid hormones, as well as pelvic ultrasound supplemented with outcomes of reproductive function and in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs.
Results. It was shown a possibility of spontaneous pregnancy in young patients with regular cycles without other infertility factors with pathomorfosis 23 stages and the endometrial receptivity. The practicability of IVF-programs with frozen oocytes and embryo transfer in young women with a lower ovarian reserve and high-risk cancer relapse was demonstrated when their reproductive plan was uncertain.
Conclusion. The reproductive function in patients who experienced atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer IA stage might be realized through a personified approach using assisted reproductive technologies and modified IVF-programs with frozen oocytes and embryo transfer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
