Ovarian Removal for Radiation Therapy: Groundbreaking Surgery at Gemelli Hospital
To move the uterus and ovaries, positioning them in a different part of the abdomen to avoid irradiation during radiotherapy sessions, thus sparing them from side effects that could compromise the patient’s fertility.
And once the cycle of oncological treatments is finished,to reposition them in their natural location.This is what an interdisciplinary team from the Fondazione Policlinico universitario Gemelli Irccs in Rome, composed of oncological gynecologists, radiotherapists and general surgeons, did for the first time in Italy, in a cutting-edge operation, of wich there are only about twenty precedents, performed on a young woman who had to undergo chemio-radiotherapy for rectal cancer.
THE TREATMENTS
As reported in a work published on the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, coordinated by Nicolò Bizzarri, medical director at the UOC of oncological Gynecology and researcher at the catholic University, the first operator of uterine transposition and repositioning operations and first author of the article, this is an operation aimed at preserving fertility in young women affected by oncological pathology in the abdomino-pelvic area, allowing them to undergo life-saving treatments and preserve fertility.
A hope, therefore, against the most recent epidemiological evidence showing an increase in cases of young people diagnosed with cancer. for example, according to data from the American Cancer Society, in the United States, colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer in both men and women and, in 20% of cases, affects individuals under the age of 55.
