Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology

Context:

  • Melanoma is a significant skin cancer.
  • Pregnancy presents unique physiological changes.
  • Accurate cancer diagnosis during pregnancy is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence of skin melanoma during pregnancy.
  • To assess the impact of pregnancy on melanoma prognosis.
  • To evaluate risks of placental metastasis in pregnancy-related melanoma.

Summary:

  • Skin melanoma incidence is 1 per 10,000 pregnancies.
  • Melanoma prognosis is unaffected by prior/subsequent pregnancies.
  • Delayed diagnosis or unfavorable site impacts prognosis during pregnancy.
  • Melanoma poses a higher risk of placental metastasis than other malignancies.

  • Foetal involvement occurs in nearly 50% of placental metastasis cases.

    • Impact:

    • Informs clinical management of melanoma in pregnant patients.
    • Highlights the need for early melanoma detection in pregnancy.
    • Raises awareness of placental and foetal risks associated with maternal melanoma.
