Summary

Increasing number of women are delaying childbirth and the incidence of endometrial cancer in reproductive age women is rising. As a result, preserving fertility is an essential component of modern care for women with endometrial cancer. In this chapter, we present current fertility preservation options for women with endometrial cancer, ranging from fertility-sparing surgery to assisted-reproductive technologies. Based on the growing evidence, we conclude that fertility preservation is safe and feasible in young women with early-stage endometrial cancer without compromising the cancer treatment outcome.
