title: Esophageal carcinoma during pregnancy: a case report.
abstract: Association of pregnancy with esophageal cancer is an extremely rare event. The symptoms are frequently masked by factors related to normal pregnancy and diagnostic approaches are restricted by physical and psychological clinical events. Hence, the cancer stage is usually advanced at the time of diagnosis. The approach to cancer surgery and chemotherapy must be modified in pregnant patients to minimize fetal and maternal risks. We present an extremely rare case of carcinoma esophagus during pregnancy.
