A successful term pregnancy following the systemic and intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin chemotherapy.
The advent of successful chemotherapy has improved the prognosis and long-term disease-free survival for many patients with a variety of malignancies. Preservation of reproductive function in female patients is now possible with conservative surgery in certain selected malignancies. Successful pregnancies following chemotherapy or ovarian cancer have been reported. This is the first reported case of a term pregnancy following the systemic and intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin chemotherapy in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
