title: Fertility preservation in women with early stage cervical cancer. Review of the literature.
abstract: Within the last decades, the percentage of diagnosed cervical cancer in women of reproductive age has increased. The possibility of diagnosing small cervical tumors (< or = twocm) in childbearing age, can be explained due to the fact that many women, are aware of the benefits of Pap smear or colposcopy examination. Many demand a more conservative policy to handle such lesions in order to have an uneventful pregnancy in the near future.
