Reproductive Outcomes in Young Women with Early-Stage Cervical Cancer Greater than 2 cm Undergoing Fertility-Sparing Treatment: A Systematic Review
Summary
- Cervical cancer is a significant concern for young women.
- There is limited information about fertility-sparing treatment for cervical cancers larger than 2 cm.
- This review aimed to assess the reproductive outcomes of women with cervical cancer larger than 2 cm who had fertility-sparing treatment.
Key Findings
- Reviewed 17 papers with a total of 443 patients.
- 80 pregnancies occurred, resulting in 24 miscarriages and 54 live births.
- Fertility-sparing treatment seems to be a feasible option for women of childbearing age with cervical cancer larger than 2 cm.
Recommendations
- Caution is advised due to limitations in the studies and potential biases.
- Reproductive outcomes should be compared with oncologic outcomes to assess the potential risks and benefits.
- Further research with standardized methods and larger groups is crucial to strengthen the validity of the findings.
