Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Oncology
- Obstetrics
Context:
- Cervical cancer diagnosis during pregnancy presents unique clinical challenges.
- Evaluating the impact of pregnancy on cancer progression and patient outcomes is crucial.
Purpose:
- To investigate the prognostic implications of cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy.
- To analyze outcomes for patients with gestational cervical cancer.
Summary:
- This retrospective study reviewed 12 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy.
- Most patients (11/12) were over 29 years old.
- Stage Ia1 (3/12) and Ib (9/12) were the predominant FIGO stages.
- No recurrences were observed after a minimum 35-month follow-up.
Impact:
