Cancer02:18

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

What is Cancer?02:12

What is Cancer?

Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of patients who died from...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes01:05

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Summary

Diagnosing cancer during pregnancy requires standardized management similar to non-pregnant patients. Termination is rarely justified; treatments are trimester-dependent, prioritizing fetal and maternal safety.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Obstetrics
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • Cancer diagnosis during pregnancy presents unique challenges for patients, families, and healthcare providers.
  • Standardized management protocols are crucial for optimizing outcomes in pregnant cancer patients.
  • Pregnancy termination is generally not indicated for cancer treatment, as it does not improve prognosis.

Purpose:

  • To outline standardized management strategies for cancer diagnosed during pregnancy.
  • To detail treatment considerations based on gestational trimester and cancer type.
  • To emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration between oncologists and obstetricians.

Summary:

  • Cancer management during pregnancy should mirror non-pregnant protocols where feasible.
  • First-trimester treatments like hormone therapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are often contraindicated.
  • Second and third-trimester management may include surgery and chemotherapy, with delivery timed to minimize risks, ideally after 35 weeks gestation.

Impact:

  • Facilitates consistent and evidence-based care for pregnant cancer patients.
  • Aims to improve maternal and fetal outcomes by optimizing treatment timing and modality.
  • Provides resources and support networks for physicians and patients navigating this complex situation.
