title: [Conservative management of malignant and borderline ovarian tumor].
abstract: Conservative management of at least a part of one ovary and the uterus, in order to preserve fertility-potential, could be propose in most of patients with nonepithelial and borderline ovarian tumor. This conservative management could be performed even in patients with borderline ovarian tumor associated with noninvasive peritoneal implants (if complete resection of peritoneal disease). A removal of the preserved ovary after completion of the pregnancy(ies) is not necessary if patients agree to a careful follow-up procedure. In patient with epithelial ovarian cancer, conservative management could be performed only in case of young patients who desire to preserve fertility function with: unilateral tumor (stage IA), grade 1 (and 2?), who underwent an adequate staging surgery (including peritoneal washings, omentectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, uterine curettage and complete pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy) and with a careful follow-up. A conservative management should not be performed in patients with tumor stage > IA and/or grade 3. Removal of preserved ovary should be performed after completion of pregnancy(ies) in order to reduce the risk of ovarian recurrence.
