Colorectal cancer during pregnancy is rare and often diagnosed at advanced stages, leading to a poor prognosis. This review discusses two cases and outlines management strategies for this challenging clinical scenario.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background:
- Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in pregnancy is an infrequent occurrence.
- Diagnosis is often delayed due to pregnancy masking symptoms, leading to advanced disease at presentation.
Observation:
- Presents two case studies of colorectal cancer diagnosed during pregnancy.
- Highlights the aggressive nature and metastatic potential of CRC in pregnant patients.
Findings:
- Delayed diagnosis in pregnancy contributes to advanced staging and poorer patient outcomes.
- Literature review supports the severe prognosis associated with colorectal cancer during gestation.
Implications:
- Emphasizes the need for heightened clinical suspicion for colorectal cancer in pregnant individuals.
- Outlines essential medical and surgical management recommendations for this rare condition.
