title: [Successful pregnancy in women with infertility following surgeries for gynecological malignancies: report of 3 cases and literature review].
abstract: We report 3 cases of successful pregnancies in women with a history of surgeries for gynecological malignancies and postoperative infertility, achieved by in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. All the 3 patients had clinical pregnancies without cancer recurrence. In such cancer survivors with infertility, the ovarian reserve is severely impaired by cancer therapies and assisted reproductive techniques should be the primary option.
