Summary
Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) requires specialized care balancing maternal and fetal safety. This review details PABC
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Maternal-Fetal Medicine
- Reproductive Health
Background:
- Breast cancer during pregnancy (PABC) is rare but significant.
- PABC presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management.
- Existing literature requires updates on current PABC practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current knowledge on PABC.
- To outline diagnostic and treatment strategies for PABC.
- To provide updates on recent literature and practice patterns.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature review.
- Analysis of diagnostic modalities.
- Evaluation of treatment options and timing.
Main Results:
- PABC management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach.
- Optimizing maternal and fetal safety is paramount.
- Postpartum care, including fertility and breastfeeding, is crucial.
Conclusions:
- PABC demands tailored oncologic care during pregnancy.
- Careful consideration of treatment timing is essential.

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
