[Gynecological cancers and pregnancy: the point of view of the oncology gynecologist].

Abstract

Cervical cancer and nonepithelial ovarian cancer are the most frequent gynecological tumors diagnosed during the pregnancy. The management of patients with a malignant tumor discovered during her pregnancy depends on the type of the tumor, the tumor stage and the term of the pregnancy. In most of cases, a conservative management of the pregnancy could be offered without affect the optimal approach for the treatment of the tumor nor the survival of the patient. But such management needs to be determined in a multidisciplinary staff with oncologists, neonatologists, obstetricians but also the point of view of the patient.
