Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary endpoints are the relapse-free survival and the overall survival of the patients.<br>Therefore a Follow-Up off all included patients will be made. On the one hand this will be achived through retrospective data research and on the other hand through communication with the patients. Women who underwent surgical treatment recently (2017) will be followed-up prospectively over a period of approximately 10 years in addition.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Secondary endpoints are the surgical outcome like surgery time, blood loss, intra- and postoperative complications and postoperative hospital stay. In women who got fertility-conserving surgery the fertility will also be a secondary endpoint.<br>These parameters will be collected via data research out of digitized and archived medical records.
