“…The relevance of method of delivery has been discussed in previous studies because of its possible impact on long-term prognosis (7-11'13'15"17A8'2°'27"28 '34'35'48'52-54). Fears have been expressed at the possibility of dystocia(lS,27), sepsis (15,20,27,32,48), hemorrhage (15,20,27,32,48) and dissemination of tumor cells 18' 20' 27' 32"33"48' 52' 53 by dilatation of an untreated malignant cervix. However, concern has not been voiced if radiotherapy is given during the first and second trimester, prior to vaginal delivery (2' 8-1° ' 12' 15' 16' 18' 24"27' 33' 34' 55).…”

Sixty-two patients with frankly invasive (FIGO stages IB-IV) cervical carcinoma were diagnosed during pregnancy or within the first post-partum year. Thirty four (54.8%) had advanced disease (stages IIB-IV), a proportion higher than reported in comparable studies. This group was studied and compared with a control group of patients with advanced cervical cancer not associated with pregnancy. 'Pregnant' patients were significantly younger but overall treatment modalities and survival were no different. Mode of delivery (vaginal vs. abdominal) did not influence the survival of study patients. Although not significant, there was a worse outcome for patients diagnosed antenatally (as opposed to post-partum). These results are pertinent to the management of advanced cervical carcinoma associated with pregnancy.

“…Cervical cancer is increasingly encountered in young women, and about 3% of all invasive cervical cancers occur in pregnant women (5) . To avoid dystocia and massive bleeding from the tumor mass, the route of the delivery is recommended by cesarean section (2) . Nonconfluent lower vaginal cervical metastasis is rare in the natural history of cervical cancer.…”

“…Cervical malignancies are found to be the most common gynecological cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. At the time of diagnosis, 1–3% of all women with cervical cancer are pregnant (2) . Most of the women diagnosed with microinvasive cervical cancer in pregnancy present with abnormal cytology, which then leads to colposcopic biopsy.…”

The objective of this study is to review the implantation of malignant cells of cervical cancer in an episiotomy site. This is the second case of cervical cancer with concomitant episiotomy metastasis in the literature. The treatment consisted of radiochemotherapy. There was no confirmed recurrent disease after 1 year of follow-up in our reported case. In conclusion, pregnancy appears to be a chance for cervical cancer screening as a part of prenatal care. If cervical cancer is diagnosed in a woman after vaginal delivery, she must be examined carefully including the episiotomy site.

“…The eflect ofpregnancy on cancer Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women during the reproductive years and the most common types of malignancy that occur during pregnancy are breast cancer and genital neoplasms [2]. Gleicher et al [4] observed that pregnancy and cancer are the only two biological conditions in which antigenic tissue is tolerated by an apparently intact immune system.…”
