Abstract
Uterine cervical cancer is increasingly prevalent among young Japanese women who are eager to preserve their fertility, and abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART) is often performed in patients with early-stage invasive lesions. Herein we present details of a 27-year-old woman with stage IB1 cervical cancer. Although the patient received ART, histopathological findings revealed a parametrial invasion. Hence, 3 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin (TC) were administered, and the patient conceived spontaneously 44 months later. Rupture of the membrane occurred at 32 weeks and 4 days, and a 1822 g female baby was delivered by emergency cesarean section. The patient is alive without disease and her child is growing favorably. This case demonstrates the balance between preservation of fertility and curative adjuvant chemotherapy after ART.
