Abstract
A stage 1C serous epithelial cancer was discovered and treated during laparoscopy performed for infertility investigation. An immediate in-v itro fertilization (IVF) was scheduled to obtain frozen embryos, Oncol ogical treatment was then completed by radical surgery (with uterine c onservation) and chemotherapy. Two years later, the thawed embryos wer e unsuccessfully transferred, However, following oocyte donation, the patient became pregnant and delivered two babies. From this observatio n, the authors discuss the strategy required in cases of early ovarian cancer associated with infertility.
