[Surrogate mothers and ovarian transposition: two attitudes to be considered in young women with cervical carcinoma. A case report]. / Mère porteuse et transposition ovarienne: deux attitudes à considérer dans le cancer du col utérin de la femme jeune. A propos d'un cas.

In cases of cervical cancer, there are 2 major advantages to preserving the ovaries, with or without transposition: hormone function is maintained during subsequent cancer treatment and patient quality of life is improved. We report the first case of pregnancy in a surrogate mother following stimulation of a transposed ovary before irradiation and chemotherapy for a squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Because of the wide dissemination of information on the technical progress in this area, patients are now in a position to make therapeutic choices that are no longer guided by strictly medical considerations.
