Uterine cancer treatment may affect a woman’s ability to get pregnant. The uterus or womb is where the baby is carried during pregnancy and is a critical part of a woman’s reproductive system. In some women, the doctor may need to remove the ovaries as part of uterine cancer treatment. Ovarian cortex cryopreservation is an option for these women if they are of childbearing age and wish to have a baby via a surrogate after treatment.
