Summary
Fertility preservation should only be offered to patients with endometrial cancer stage Ia grade 1 (G1), who present without myometrial invasion or where the cancer has invaded less than 50% of the myometrium, with no evidence of pathological lymph nodes or no evidence of synchronous or metachronous ovarian tumor. It is estimated that about 22% will achieve successful pregnancy.
