Uterine Preservation Treatments in Sarcomas: Oncological Problems and Reproductive Results: A Systematic Review
Uterine sarcomas are rare cancers, sometimes diagnosed in women of childbearing age. Hysterectomy is the standard treatment in early stages. The option of lesion removal to save fertility is described in the literature, but it is still considered experimental. The objective of this systematic review...
