The complexity and challenges of fertility preservation in women with cervix cancer—A prospective cohort study reporting on reproductive outcome and overall survival
Our findings underscore the complexity and challenges associated with FP in the context of cervix cancer. Results of this study demonstrate that many women diagnosed with cervix cancer at reproductive age desire to achieve parenthood. While fertility-sparing surgery can allow pregnancy, those who undergo a hysterectomy are limited to adoption, surrogacy, or the emerging possibility of uterus transplantation.
