 June 9, 2016

 Fertility-sparing surgery with optimal staging followed by adjuvant chemotherapy can be considered for patients with Stage IC non-clear cell carcinoma and Grade 1 or 2 disease and patients with Stage IA clear cell carcinoma, though fertility-sparing surgery with optimal staging not followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended for Stage IA non-clear cell carcinoma and Grade 1 or 2 disease. Fertility-sparing surgery cannot be recommended for patients with Stage IC clear cell carcinoma or Stage I non-clear cell carcinoma and Grade 3 disease.
