Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the fifth most common cancer in women worldwide. Global estimates show rising incidence rates in both developed and developing countries.
The genetic and molecular landscape of EC is becoming more and more important for both prognosis and treatment choice. The utilization and choice of ART for patients interested in fertility preservation depends on the type and stage of cancer, the treatment plan, the time available until the cancer treatment has to start, and whether the patient has a committed a partner. For patients who have a committed male partner, embryo cryopreservation has a long track record of being a very successful procedure for fertility preservation.
Fertility sparing approach for grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma limited to the endometrium is feasible and can be considered in premenopausal patients with plans to conceive in the near future.
Fertility-sparing treatment predominantly involves the use of oral progestins and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices, which have been shown to be feasible and safe in women with early stage EC and minimal or no myometrial invasion.
This focused issue aims to provide an update about the current cutting of diagnosis management, treatment and outcomes of Endometrial cancer in reproductive age: fertility, from basic science to translation approach.
Topics in the focused issue：
- Etiology and pathogenesis of endometrial cancer in fertile women
- Biomolecular and Genetic Prognostic Factors of endometrial cancer (EC).
- Fertility-sparing approach in EC.
- Oocyte vitrification and fertility preservation
- Ethical and medico-legal implication
- Oncofertility and Reproductive Counseling
- Artificial intelligence application in EC
- Stem cells as therapy for EC
- Fertility-preservation approach in in women affected by endometrial
- Sexuality in reproductive aged women affected by EC
