Abstract:
The rates of endometrial cancer are increasing for pre-menopausal patients with first pregnancy attempt now surpassing 30 years. This combination has created unique challenges for pre-menopausal patients with endometrial cancer, and deciding the best treatment options can be complicated for clinicians and patients. This narrative review will discuss current, broadly accepted patient selection criteria and treatment and surveillance strategies for young patients who wish to retain their fertility. Efforts to expand selection criteria for non-surgical management, including novel treatment options for select tumors, and perspectives on nuanced clinical scenarios will also be discussed.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
