Description
Katsuhiro Ooi and co-authors preserve a young woman's chance at children while treating a rare womb cancer. Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma makes up under one percent of uterine cancers, and the standard cure removes the womb and ovaries. Their patient was twenty-seven and had never been pregnant when a growth, first taken for a fibroid, proved to be this cancer.
A regional oncofertility network linked her cancer team with fertility specialists. Surgeons removed the lesion by keyhole surgery, and a double stimulation cycle froze six embryos. Strong hormone therapy then held the cancer risk down during a waiting period. Two thawed embryo transfers, spaced by that therapy, each led to a healthy birth. The case shows what joined-up care can save.
