Pregnancy Associated Neoplasm

Pregnancy-associated cancers are rare but pose unique challenges in diagnosis and management. These cancers, including cervical, ovarian, and breast cancer, are diagnosed during pregnancy or shortly after delivery. Dr. Munisha Sharma highlights that balancing maternal health with fetal safety requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Treatment decisions depend on the cancer type, gestational age, and disease stage. Surgery, chemotherapy (in select trimesters), and careful monitoring are common approaches. Dr. Munisha Sharma emphasizes early detection, as pregnancy often delays diagnosis. Collaborative care between oncologists and obstetricians ensures the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
