[Carcinoma of cervix in pregnancy (author's transl)].
Seventy cases of clinical carcinoma of the cervix, in concomitance with pregnancy, were observed and treated at the University Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Kiel, between 1925 and 1976, in parallel with 107933 deliveries during the same period of time. They were carcinomas of the cervix, Stages I through IV. Twenty-seven of the above  70 women died within six years from first detection. Prognosis in terms of recovery was much worse for patients in whom the carcinoma had not been detected before the puerperium. The choice between surgery or radiotherapy or both methods in combination will have to depend on the age of pregnancy or on the degree of certainty with which the unborn child is thought to be viable at the time of carcinoma detection. Thirty-three of the above 70 patients gave birth to full-term children, some of the by the vaginal route and others by caesarean section.
