Analysis of Cases ofCervical Cancer in Pregnant Women

Abstract

Purpose To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pregnancies that are complicated by cervical cancer and to identify appropriate therapeutic protocols. Patients and Methods Clinical data were acquired from 14 subjects attending hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai, China, between January 2015 and December 2019. Then, we analyzed clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis. Results Of the 14 cases, there were two cases of abortion, two cases of chemotherapy during the second trimester, two cases of cold knife conization, and eight cases of expectant management and extended postpartum treatment. The gestational age ranged from 28 to 40 weeks. All subjects and infants survived except for the fetuses that underwent abortions. Conclusion Early diagnosis of cervical therapy, and the provision of multivariate therapy, can prolong gestational age and improve the survival rate of both pregnant women and infants.

“…The incidence of cervical cancer during pregnancy is not high, with a prevalence of about 1/2000 to 1/10000 (Bo, et al,2021), accounting for about 10% of all malignant tumors during pregnancy (Lu, et al,2023). The common clinical symptoms of cervical cancer during pregnancy are not signi cantly different from cervical cancer outside pregnancy, characterized by irregular vaginal bleeding and exudate, which can be easily confused with early miscarriage or preterm labor.…”

In addition, pregnant patients with cervical lesions show a relatively high proportion of combined high-risk human papillomavirus infections ( 3 ).…”
