Fertility-Sparing Approaches in Gynecologic Oncology: Role of Imaging in Treatment Planning.

Fertility-Sparing Approaches in Gynecologic Oncology: Role of Imaging in Treatment Planning. Radiol Clin North Am. 2020 Mar;58(2):401-412 Authors: Stein EB, Hansen JM, Maturen KE Abstract Gynecologic cancers impact women of all ages. Some women may wish to preserve their capacity for future childbearing. With appropriate patient selection, acceptable oncologic outcomes may be achieved with preservation of fertility. Determination of eligibility for fertility preservation is guided by patient factors, tumor histology, and preoperative local staging with pelvic MR imaging. The aim of this article is to educate radiologists on the current guidelines for fertility-sparing techniques in women with early stage cervical, endometrial, and ovarian malignancies.
