Current recommendations for pregnant women with cervical cancer depend on several factors, such as the stage of the disease, the gestational age at the time of diagnosis, and the patient's desire to maintain the pregnancy. This report describes the case of a 24 weeks pregnant woman with stage IB2 cervical cancer who was successfully treated with three cycles of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a simultaneous Сaesarean section and radical hysterectomy. Her newborn daughter was completely healthy at birth. As far as we know, this was the first case of cervical cancer during pregnancy to be treated with this approach in Belarus. In the absence of clear guidelines, these patients should be treated after a decision by a multidisciplinary cancer committee, including a gynecologist-oncologist, obstetrician, pathologist and neonatologist, to determine the best treatment option.
