title: Hodgkin's disease and pregnancy: case series and proposal for treatment protocol.
abstract: The peak frequency of Hodgkin's disease convergesmatches with women of reproductive fertility age. Currently, this disease is the fourth more diagnosed neoplasia during pregnancy. In addition, there is no consensus in the literature on how to treat pregnant women because of the risks of chemotherapy for mothers and for fetuses. We report three cases of pregnant women with Hodgkin's disease. A review of the literature was made aiming to suggest a protocol to treat these patients.
