Resumen
ARTEAGA-GOMEZ, Ana C. et al. Perinatal outcomes in young women with breast cancer and pregnancy. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2021, vol.157, n.4, pp.431-436. Epub 13-Dic-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000871.
Introduction:
Breast cancer associated with pregnancy is defined as a malignant neoplasm of the breast that is diagnosed during pregnancy, breastfeeding or one year after delivery.
Objective:
To analyze perinatal outcomes in a series of young patients with breast cancer and pregnancy in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods:
Retrospective, analytical study of 26 women younger than 40 years of age with breast cancer who resolved their pregnancy at the National Institute of Perinatology between 2013 and 2018. Clinical-pathological characteristics, perinatal outcomes and family planning methods were studied. Percentages and central tendency measures were obtained, and comparisons were made with the chi-square test or Fisher's exact tests.
Results:
Association of breast cancer with pregnancy was observed in 0.26 % of all births; mean age of presentation was 34 years, 38.4 % of cases had cancer at advanced clinical stages and 57.1 % of the women were treated with modified radical mastectomy; no trend towards higher perinatal complications was observed.
Conclusions:
Breast cancer associated with pregnancy implies an oncological challenge and does not appear to be a risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes.
