Background: The prognosis for patients who develop a recurrence after fertility-sparing surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear. This is the first study to evaluate survival in patients who have developed a recurrence in this context.Methods: The outcomes of relapsed patients reported in the literature in the four main series of fertility-sparing surgery for EOC were reviewed and updated (where feasible).Results: Twenty-three of the 166 patients in the series were reported to have recurrent disease. The site of the recurrence was the peritoneum (+/- remaining ovary) in 17 patients, and distant in six patients. Twelve patients died of recurrent disease, two are still alive with persistent disease, eight are disease-free, and one is alive but her exact status is not known. Among eight patients (34%) with an isolated recurrence on the remaining ovary, two died and one was lost to follow-up.Conclusion: In this carefully monitored population, including systematic radiological examinations, the rate of isolated recurrences on the spared ovary is low. Recurrence in these patients carries a poor prognosis. Such results suggest that initial selection of candidates for fertility-sparing surgery should be carefully defined to reduce the rate of recurrences that carry a poor prognosis.
