title: [The possibilities of retaining fertility in malignant gynecological tumors].
abstract: The protection of reproductive organs and retaining fertility have always been of paramount importance in gynecology. Development of gynecological oncology and reproductive medicine over the last few decades have achieved and, indeed, made it compulsory to insist on retaining fertility when treatment of malignant disease leaves an opportunity for future pregnancies. The basic rule of gynecological cancer surgery is clarified further that radicality should not be more extensive than necessary and, at the same time, as intensive as the least necessary. One of the new challenges of current demographic trends, mostly in developed countries, is that the first child by the average family is planned nearly 10 years later than some decades ago. As a result, more and more women experience the development of malignant disease before they complete their family planning intentions. Beside the improved cancer treatment methods, deep frozen conservation of eggs and ovarian tissue together with chemotherapy and GnRH agonist treatment will provide further opportunity to enhance reproductive potential of women who are successfully treated of their gynecological cancer.
