Abdominal or vaginal radical trachelectomies are fertility-preserving alternatives to radical hysterectomy for young women with early-stage cervical cancer that can be performed during ongoing pregnancy.Methods A literature review of articles on this subject was conducted through a Medline search for articles published in English or French.Results At this moment, 21 cervical cancer patients, including ours (4 stage IA2, 16 IB1, and 1 IB2) who underwent radical trachelectomy during pregnancy have been reported. Of these, 10 were performed by vaginal route and 11 were abdominal radical trachelectomies.Conclusions Radical trachelectomy could be offered as an option for pregnant patients with early invasive cervical cancer. It may help women avoid the triple losses of a desired pregnancy, fertility, and motherhood.}, issn = {1048-891X}, URL = {https://ijgc.bmj.com/content/26/4/758}, eprint = {https://ijgc.bmj.com/content/26/4/758.full.pdf}, journal = {International Journal of Gynecologic Cancer} }
