    Summary

    Routine cervical cancer screening during pregnancy is crucial. Early detection through smear tests and follow-up diagnostics can improve outcomes for invasive cervical cancer in pregnant women.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Obstetrics
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Invasive cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy presents unique challenges.
    • Despite widespread cytological screening, incidence has not decreased.
    • Pregnancy prevalence in cervical cancer patients ranges from 0.7% to 3.5%.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of invasive cervical cancer associated with pregnancy.
    • To assess the effectiveness of current screening methods in pregnant populations.
    • To recommend improved diagnostic and management strategies.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective review identified 41 cases of invasive cervical cancer in pregnant patients (1967-1987).
    • The average patient age was 31.5 years, with a gravida of 3.7 and para of 3.0.
    • Stage Ib cervical cancer survival was 70%, lower than in non-pregnant women, with 39% of cases being asymptomatic.

    Impact:

    • Routine Papanicolaou (smear) tests at the first antenatal visit are recommended.
    • Early detection via colposcopy and biopsy is vital for timely intervention.
    • Prompt treatment initiation during pregnancy can potentially improve patient survival rates.
