[Frequency of infertility in endometrial cancer].
A retrospective study included 1,559 patients with endometrial carcinoma who had received surgical and combined treatment (1968-1995). It was found that infertility was at the background of practically all cases under the age of 30 (92.3%). Moreover, high rates of infertility were discovered in the histories of patients with light-cell (mesonephroid) carcinoma which developed in menopause.
