Summary

Ovarian preservation in premenopausal women with early uterine leiomyosarcoma is a controversial clinical topic. Estrogen/progesterone receptor activation may play an important role in tumor development in uterine leiomyosarcoma and there is evidence that receptor expression is associated with survival. Whilst the retrospective evidence from large databases or smaller studies showed no adverse impact of ovarian preservation on survival, the high rate of recurrence even in early stages, the high rate of estrogen receptor expression, and the emergence of hormonal treatment for uterine leiomyosarcoma should drive clinicians to consider oophorectomy for patients with hormone-receptor positive uterine leiomyosarcoma.
