“…Breast cancer was diagnosed in 502 women during pregnancy and in 1068 women during lactation or postpartum. Of the studies reviewed, there were three case control studies, 12,22,23 six retrospective case series, 19,24–28 two retrospective cohorts, 2,29 three retrospective cancer registry reviews, 30–32 and one correlational mathematical modeling study 33 . Three common themes were addressed in the studies: 1) maternal age and gestation at diagnosis, 2) delay in PABC diagnosis, and 3) metastasis (Table 1).…”

Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is defined as cancer of the breast diagnosed during pregnancy and up to 1 year postpartum. Delays in diagnosis are frequently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this article is to determine the significance of early detection of PABC and to alert health care providers to include PABC in the differential diagnosis when evaluating a breast mass in the perinatal period. This integrative literature review evaluated 15 research studies by using the hypothetical deductive model of clinical reasoning to determine factors related to diagnosis of PABC. As women delay childbearing, the incidence of PABC increases with age. In the reviewed studies, breast cancer was diagnosed with greater frequency in the postpartum period than during any trimester in pregnancy. Delay in diagnosis is complicated by axillary lymph node metastasis, high-grade tumors at diagnosis, and poor outcomes. Early detection is a significant predictor of improved outcomes. Diagnostic modalities such as ultrasound, mammography, and biopsy can be safely used for diagnostic purposes in the evaluation of potential cases of PABC during pregnancy.

“…Existen factores que favorecen el recrudecimiento de esta patología durante el embarazo, entre los cuales se pueden mencionar los siguientes: (a) la falta de un control prenatal en la mayoría de las mujeres embarazadas, (b) la baja cobertura en el programa de pesquisa del cáncer de cérvix, y (c) la resistencia del personal de salud a explorar a una mujer embarazada ante la falsa sensación de atribuir los signos y síntomas al propio embarazo (2). Este último, representa un problema importante para el diagnóstico, ya que con frecuencia no se hace durante el embarazo, porque a la hemorragia genital se le atribuye origen obstétrico y no se efectúa especuloscopia (8).…”

RESUMENLa asociación entre cáncer y embarazo es infrecuente, con una incidencia entre 0,02-0,1%. El cáncer cérvico-uterino es la neoplasia más frecuentemente asociada a la gestación, con tasas entre 1-13/10.000 partos. Se presenta el caso de una gestante indígena de 38 años de edad y 15 semanas de gestación, con el diagnóstico de un carcinoma de cuello uterino epidermoide de células grandes, estadio clínico IIB. PALABRAS CLAVE: Cáncer cérvico-uterino, embarazo SUMMARYThe association between cancer and pregnancy is infrequent, with an incidence between 0.02-0.1 percent. Cervical cancer being the most frequently neoplasia associated to the gestation, with rates between 1-13/10,000 childbirths. We report the case of an indigenous pregnant of 38 years old and 15 weeks of gestation, with the diagnoses of cervical cancer of great cells, clinical stage IIB.
