A Review of Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer: Diagnosis, Local and Systemic Treatment, and Prognosis.
Journal of Women's Health 2019 June
The incidence of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) increases as more women choose to delay childbearing and the population-based incidence of breast cancer rises. Reliably and safely staging PABC is necessary to choose between starting with local or systemic therapy. With regard to local therapy, both lumpectomy and mastectomy can be considered depending on gestational age and the stage at diagnosis. By mirroring nonpregnant treatment regimens as much as possible, chemotherapy may improve long-term oncologic outcomes while allowing for surgical downstaging during pregnancy. Delaying treatment due to misconceptions regarding risk of local and systemic therapy most certainly worsens oncologic outcomes, and most neonatal morbidity is related to gestational age at delivery and not in utero exposures. Pregnancy itself was once considered an independent risk factor for worse outcome, but the prognosis of these patients is not significantly different than nonpregnant counterparts of a similar age.
