“…Although careful shielding and dosage calculation can reduce excessive fetal exposure to irradiation, it is important to avoid therapeutic radiation in pregnant patients if possible 14. For pregnant patients with pelvic cancers however, the fetus is in close proximity or directly exposed to the primary beam and continuation of pregnancy is incompatible given the inability to protect the fetus from high-level irradiation 14 15…”

“…The ovaries are especially sensitive to ionising radiation, as radiation directly damages DNA in ovarian follicles and results in decreased follicular reserve. Furthermore, mathematical models suggest that the radiation dose required to destroy 50% of immature oocytes (LD 50 ) is <2 Gy 15 16. With higher dosages exceeding 6 Gy, ovarian function is negatively impacted and may lead to premature ovarian insufficiency.…”

“…Die Anwendung einer Strahlentherapie in der Grav ist wiederum mit der SSW bei Diagnosestellung assoziiert. Gemäß den LL der französischen Radioonkologen bestehen die Risiken in Fehlbildungen mit Mikrozephalie und geistiger Behinderung [46]. Auch beim ungeborenen Kind besteht die Gefahr einer strahlenbedingten Krebserkrankung.…”

“…Eine Phantomschätzung der an den Fötus abgegebenen Dosis wird empfohlen. Aufgrund der geringeren Dosis, die dem Fötus verabreicht wird, ist die konformationelle gegenüber der intensitätsmodulierten Strahlentherapie zu bevorzugen [46].…”

“…Most of the imaging procedures involve a radiation risk that is far below that having a harmful effect. Dosage of 100 mGy is considered safe especially after gestational week 15; earlier in pregnancy, a threshold of 60 mGy is estimated to be safe 19,20 . Pelvic computed tomography (CT) involves a radiation dosage of 10–50 mGy.…”
