Classics in oncology. Survey of current opinions concerning carcinoma of the breast occurring during pregnancy. J. Harold Cheek, M.D. Am. Arch. Surg. 1953.
A questionnaire dealing with problems relating to carcinoma of the breast occurring in pregnancy has been submitted to a number of physicians considered to be well informed on this subject. The replies have been tabulated and analyzed. Some features of the disease as seen in pregnancy are discussed, and some of the factors responsible for its poor prognosis are considered. The response to the survey indicates that the results of the treatment of carcinoma of the breast occurring in pregnancy are very disappointing.
