Fertility preservation in women with early stage cervical cancer. Review of the literature.

Within the last decades, the percentage of diagnosed cervical cancer in women of reproductive age has increased. The possibility of diagnosing small cervical tumors (< or = twocm) in childbearing age, can be explained due to the fact that many women, are aware of the benefits of Pap smear or colposcopy examination. Many demand a more conservative policy to handle such lesions in order to have an uneventful pregnancy in the near future.
