[Cervical carcinoma associated with pregnancy].
Cervical carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy since about 30% of diagnosed women are in their fertile years. Diagnosis of cervical cancer during pregnancy superimposes ethical dilemmas on the clinical considerations. Both maternal and fetal outcome should be considered when managing such a case. Is it necessary to discontinue the pregnancy? What are the implications of delayed treatment? How does the treatment affect the fetus and newborn? This article reviews the practical aspects of these issues and suggests management proposals.
