title: [Pregnancy after breast cancer: the obstetrician's point of view. Literature review].
abstract: In 10 to 15% of cases, breast cancer occurs in women under the age of 40. Thanks to the development of novel therapeutic approaches in the past few years, breast cancer prognosis is today far more acute than before and a pregnancy can be planned in these young women. They are expecting from their physician clear information about possibilities for pregnancy and specific risks after breast cancer. Several questions are raised in such situations: Does pregnancy modifies breast cancer prognosis? What is the influence of breast cancer for pregnancy? How do these young patients experience pregnancy and breast cancer? The goal of this paper, based upon literature review, was to clarify guidelines for the follow-up of young women experiencing pregnancy after breast cancer.
