Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all uterine malignancies. Standard treatment is total hysterectomy and bilateral tubal oophorectomy, although fertility preservation may be desirable because of the young age of onset. We document a case of fertility preservation in a 27-year-old nulligravida diagnosed with LGESS, which not only enabled the successful birth of two live infants but also underscores the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach to patient treatment through the Hyogo Oncofertility Network (HOF-net).

Background: Fertility preserving therapy using medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is an important option for young patients with endometrial cancer or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). However, the effectiveness and feasibility of repeated MPA therapy for patients with intrauterine recurrence following initial MPA therapy is controversial. Only a few single-institution retrospective studies have been conducted on repeated MPA therapy, therefore, multicenter prospective studies for repeated MPA therapy are highly needed.

Introduction: The delayed-start gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol seems effective for patients who are poor ovarian responders, but there are insufficient data on whether it is also effective for patients with poor-quality embryos and low rates of good blastocyst formation. Specifically, the effectiveness of delayed-start gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists with progesterone has not been adequately investigated. Therefore, we compared the efficacy of the original delayed-start gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol using medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and high-dose gonadotropin in patients with poor ovarian response.
