Abstract
The incidence of gynecologic cancer in women of reproductive age is increasing, as is the trend towards fertility-sparing treatments, highlighting the importance of safe and effective contraceptive counseling. Selecting a contraceptive method requires careful consideration of the tumor's histological subtype, its hormonal expression, and the timing of counseling within the cancer care continuum (diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment phases). The Portuguese Society of Contraception and the Section of Gynecologic Oncology of the Portuguese Gynecological Society present recommendations about contraception in women with gynecologic cancer who have undergone fertility-sparing treatments, from diagnosis to the end of the reproductive age.
