Abstract
Objective: To describe a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) conceiving with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo transfer after conservative treatment of early stage endometrial cancer. Design: Case report. Setting: Tertiary center for assisted reproductive technologies. Patient(s): A 32-year-old woman with PCOS, primary infertility of 4 years duration, and grade 1 endometrioid endometrial cancer. Intervention(s): Assessment of myometrial invasion and extrauterine spread with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explorative laparotomy. High-dose progestin treatment and ICSI and embryo transfer. Main outcome measure(s): Successful take-home baby and no residual endometrial cancer. Results(s): A healthy normal female infant with a birth weight of 1,740 g was born by cesarean section at 30 weeks' gestation. No residual cancer was detected at the follow-up curettage performed 2 months after the delivery. Conclusion(s): Conservative uterus-preserving treatment may be considered in patients with early stage endometrial cancer. Assisted reproductive technologies may be used in such patients for immediate achievement of pregnancy.
