Abstract: Objective: fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET) after conservative treatment of early stage endometrial cancer. Patient: A 31-year-old multiparous woman diagnosed with highly-differentiated (G1) endometrial adenocarcinoma (grade IA). Interventions: After four courses of conservative treatment each followed by hysteroscopic biopsy and endometrial curettage,assisted reproductive technology was performed. Main outcome measures: Successful pregnancy and delivery without residual endometrial cancer. Resultss: A healthy normal female infant with a birth weight of 3,690 g was born by cesarean section at 38 + 2 weeks' gestation. No residual malignant cells was detected on a biopsy during cesarean section. Conclusions: Conservative fertility-sparing treatment are crucial for young patients with early stage endometrial cancer. Assisted reproductive technologies may be considered to assist such patients to conceive as soon as possible.
