Abstract

To investigate the prevalence, etiology, clinical presentation and pathological features, treatment and prognosis of cervical cancer in young women. Clinical data of 132 young women with cervical cancer were reviewed. Positive rate of human papillomavirus 18 was high in young women with cervical cancer. The primary clinical presentation of young patients with cervical cancer was contact bleeding of vagina, and the signs were out-expanding of cervical mass. The percentage of adenocarcinoma increased. The main treatment for cervical cancer was surgery. The patients had radical hysterectomy plus ovarian transplantation, none of whom had ovarian metastases and menopause syndrome. Prognosis of most patients was good. Contact bleeding is a significant symptom in young women with cervical cancer. Surgery is first considered in the treatment. Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used in patients with locally advanced and late stage cervical cancer. Ovarian transplantation during operation can retain the ovary function.
