Video Summary
The video discusses strategies for fertility-sparing surgery in early ovarian cancer. The goal is to preserve reproductive function and quality of life by saving part of an ovary and the uterus. The success of fertility-sparing surgery depends on various factors such as stage, grade, histology, and prognosis. Different guidelines suggest different criteria for fertility-sparing surgery, but in general, it may be considered for low-grade serous carcinomas and certain histologies, while it is contraindicated for high-grade tumors or advanced stage disease. Germ cell tumors and stromal tumors may also be candidates for fertility-sparing surgery. Assisted reproductive techniques can be considered prior to surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
