“…4,6,7 Generally, cervical cancer diagnosed within 6-12 months of an antecedent pregnancy is considered to have been present during pregnancy. 8 Because of the current trend of delaying pregnancy into the later reproductive years and the increased availability of screening tests for cervical cancer, physicians caring for pregnant women may encounter early-stage cervical cancer more frequently. 3 In analyzing the causes of delayed diagnosis made during or after the second …”

“…Reports of the incidence vary between 0.02% and 0.9%. The real incidence during the decade 1980-1990 was 1.2 in 10,000 pregnancies [19][20][21]. Recently, the incidence has seemed to decline due to better public awareness for early detection.…”

Cancer complicating pregnancy is a rare coexistence. The incidence is approximately 1 in 1,000 pregnancies. The most common cancers are those more frequently seen during the reproductive age of a woman. Breast cancer, cervical cancer, Hodgkin's disease, malignant melanoma, and leukemias are the most frequently diagnosed malignancies during gestation.The diagnostic and therapeutic management of the pregnant patient with cancer is especially difficult because it involves two persons, the mother and the fetus.In this paper we review: A) the therapeutic and diagnostic management of these patients; B) the safety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; C) the metastatic pattern of the maternal tumors to the placenta and fetus, and D) the potential recommendations for therapeutic abortion.

“…The patient experienced an upper abdominal recurrence and died 9 months after diagnosis. Although a modest treatment delay to allow fetal maturity for some patients with Stage I squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix has not been found to impact negatively on maternal survival [16], such a delay is contraindicated in pregnancies complicated by the neuroendocrine cervical cancer. Given the aggressive nature of this tumor type, we advise that therapy be instituted immediately without delay following diagnosis.…”
