Abstract

Locally advanced cervical cancer poses a significant challenge to fertility-sparing treatments. Pelvic radiotherapy impairs reproductive potential owing to ovarian, uterine, and endometrial side effects. This study presents a literature review of the main fertility-sparing therapeutic alternatives for locally advanced cervical cancer and a case report of the first childbirth following uterine transposition for gynecological malignancies.

Keywords: cervical cancer; fertility‐sparing; low‐volume lymph node metastasis; reproductive and obstetrics outcomes; uterine transposition.
