Breast cancer associated with pregnancy

Aim. To assess the influence of pregnancy on the long-term prognosis and clinical treatment of breast cancer (BC). Materials and Methods. We assessed hereditary and family history and studied the features of BC treatment against the background of pregnancy. All women received complex treatment. Treatment in women with BC associated with pregnancy was the following: in 100 % of cases there was polychemotherapy (PCT); surgical treatment - 44 (88 %) including adnexectomy in 12 (24 %); radiation therapy - 33 (66 %); hormonotherapy (HT) - 25 (50 %). Results. All women received complex treatment. All patients subjected to special treatment (surgery, chemotherapy) during pregnancy had healthy babies. There was no negative influence on the fetal development and condition of newborns (Apgar score - 7 to 9). Conclusion. The decision on special treatment for such patients is made individually. PCT during pregnancy does not affect physical development of newborns. It is necessary to perform further research, analyze BRCA mutations, and collect epidemiologic data in patients with BS associated with pregnancy.
