Abstract: For gynecologic malignancies, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are traditional therapeutic approaches, which do harm to the reproductive organs and patients will lose fertility permanently. Therefore, how to preserve fertility has always been the objective of gynecologic oncologists. So far, early diagnosis, improvement on the recovery rate and development of assisted reproductive technique have provided more opportunities and posed new challenges in the meanwhile.

Key words: Gynecologic malignancies, Fertility-sparing, Ovarian cancer, Endometrial cancer, Cervical cancer
