Abstract

Considering the important improvement of surgical techniques and chemotherapy in the last few years, it is possible today, in selected cases of patients previously treated for ovarian cancer, to support their desire for motherhood, thus improving the quality of life for them. The major problem for the Gynecologic Oncologist in treating young women for ovarian tumour is the lack of statistically significant experience world-wide, because of the very few cases in which the reproductive function is preserved, and pregnancy is subsequently possible. In this report the problem is discussed, and the results obtained in our Institute are presented.
