Breast cancer and pregnancy: diagnosis and treatment

https://doi.org/10.18027/2224-5057-2014-1-14-18

Abstract

Breast cancer researches in recent years have shown that it is the most common form of cancer in women during pregnancy. According to the data from international statistical institutes, this form of cancer in women younger than 45 years account for 8% of all cases. The frequency of detection of breast cancer during pregnancy ranges from 1 in 10,000 pregnant women to 1 in 3,000 pregnancies.  The reason that a rare combination of breast cancer and pregnancy is no longer a rarity now, is the older age of childbearing, and that the cohort of patients expands to include those women with breast cancer who were diagnosed during one year after childbirth.
