Pregnancy in patients with cancer

Ginekol Pol. 2011 Jul;82(7):546-9.

Abstract

We analyzed 12 cases of pregnant women divided into two separate groups: tumor diagnosed and treated before pregnancy and tumor diagnosed during pregnancy. Increasing number of simultaneous incidence of cancer and pregnancy is probably related to higher childbearing age. Our results suggest that cancer diagnosed both during and before pregnancy does not necessarily result in poor maternal and neonatal outcome.
