title: [What to do when my cancer patient is pregnant?].
abstract: Cancers in pregnant women are rare and similar to those in women of similar, reproductive age. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma differs in its course in pregnant women. Cancer treatment according to the guidelines is modified only according to what is necessary in the overall situation. The goal of the treatment is to secure the well-being of the mother and the fetus. Cancer surgery is successful on almost the same principles as in other patients. Drug therapies required by a severe cancer diagnosed in early pregnancy may jeopardize the health of both the mother and the fetus. Radiation therapy during pregnancy is generally not recommended.
