Purpose: To assess the recurrence and birth rates among patients with non-epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods: The study included 146 germ cell (GCT, n = 84) sex cord-stromal tumors (SCST, 62), who underwent fertility-sparing surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 86 (58.9%) patients. Most cases (133 out of 146) were staged FIGO I. Results: 5- 10-year disease-free survival 91% 83%, r...

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a kind of uterine malignancy. Total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was the main treatment.
