Article Description

Haematological malignancies that occur during pregnancy are difficult to diagnose and manage. For patients diagnosed during trimester 1, watchful waiting or bridging therapy are options for some types of malignancies, whereas termination should be considered in patients with highly aggressive cancers that require immediate treatment with highly teratogenic agents. The use of chemotherapy is generally considered safe during trimesters 2 and 3. Special considerations should also be given to appropriate supportive care and the timing of delivery.
