[Pregnancy and colorectal cancer].
Among 1761 patients operated on for colorectal malignancies by the authors in a period of 20 years, four cases were diagnosed during pregnancy. Beside analyzing the case-histories they present the relevant literature data: the incidence of colorectal tumors during pregnancy is 4-5 cases/100,000 pregnancies, and most frequently they are situated in the rectum. The prognosis of primary colorectal malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy is unfavourable, and their biological behavior is more aggressive. Authors review the advised diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in different periods of pregnancy.
