Cancer diagnosis during pregnancy is associated with severe maternal and neonatal morbidity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on maternal and fetal outcomes in patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy are limited. Given expected increase in patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy, there is a growing need to evaluate clinical outcomes.

Objective

To evaluate obstetric outcomes among women with early-stage gynecologic or breast cancer who were diagnosed during pregnancy compared to women without cancer in a population-based cohort.

Study design

We performed a population-based study of women aged 18 to 45 years with stage I gynecologic or stage I to III breast cancer reported to the California Cancer Registry for the years 2000 to 2012. Data were linked to the 2000 to 2012 California birth data to produce a database with cancer characteristics and obstetric outcome
