[Cervical carcinoma during pregnancy].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate management and outcome of pregnant women with cervical carcinoma.


METHODS
Retrospective clinical study.


METHODS
Institute for Mother and Child Care, Prague, Czech Republic.


METHODS
Clinical data of pregnant women suffering from cervical carcinoma were summarized and assessed. The primary treatment was radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy including the foetus in utero in the first and early second trimester and caesarean section and radical surgery after viability of the foetus has been reached. Patients were assessed with regard to the stage of the disease and the stage of pregnancy.


RESULTS
In this retrospective study we discuss 8 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. According to the TNM classification 3 patients were in stage Ib1, 3 patients in stage Ib2, one patient in stage IIa and one patient in stage IIb. With the exception of one patient in stage IIb all cases were operable with no complication after radical surgery. After a follow-up of at least 12 months we are convinced that pregnancy has no negative effect on the prognosis of cervical cancer.
