Objective: To evaluate live birth rates and the influence of pregnancy on the prognoses of young women (<40 years old) with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) and atypical complex hyperplasia (AH) who were treated by conservative management followed by assisted reproductive technology (ART).

Eighteen studies including 104 women enabled determination of live birth rates o.. View More»
