- Abstract
- In case of young women treated with ovarian preservation in cervical cancer surgery, it is regarded pertinent to reduce the risk of early menopause resulting from adjuvant pelvic irradiation through ovarian transposition. On the other hand, lots of authors have raised questions in regard with the ovary being possibly affected by micrometastasis. Studies have reported appropriate indications of ovarian transposition and risk factors of ovarian metastasis to cope with this problem. We conducted ovarian transposition with cervical cancer patient who had no ovarian metastasis risk factors reported in previous literature and experienced such case that metastasis took place only in the ovary without spreading to other organs. This study is to report that case based on brief literature review.
