The objective of the study was to evaluate the ovarian preservation in the early stage of endometrial cancer. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 174 patients with endometrial cancer who underwent Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) and Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy in 5 years were included. Results: The results showed that 51.1% of the patients were at stage IA, 28.7% at stage IB, 6.9% at stage II, 11.5% at stage III and 1.7% at stage IV of endometrial cancer when they underwent surgery. One patient (1.12%) at stage IA of endometrial cancer, one patient (2%) at stage IB and one patient (8.3%) at stage II had micrometastasis in ovaries, and 8 patients (40%) at stage III and 2 patients (66.6%) at stage IV had micrometastasis and co-existing tumor. Conclusion: In conclusion, findings revealed the high safety of ovarian preservation in endometrial cancer at earlier stages of the endometrial cancer with low risk of ovarian involvement.}, keywords = {Keywords: Endometrial neoplasms,Hysterectomy,Fertility preservation,Salpingo-oophorectomy}, url = {http://www.jimc.ir/article_125062.html}, eprint = {http://www.jimc.ir/article_125062_fb216b0c9a25d3b544422ddae0198334.pdf} }
