Cancer during pregnancy is rare but it happens. Cervical cancer is to be developed for pregnant women. Cervical cancer is curable in early stages, these stages need to treat the screening programs, pregnancy represents an excellent opportunity to achieve this goal. Prompt treatment achieved lower mortality rates. Cancer itself rarely harm the baby, and some cancer treatments are safe during pregnancy. You and your health care will work together to find the best treatment. Your options depend on how advanced the pregnancy, and the type, size andstage of cancer.
Another type of cancer that women can get is called gestational trophoblastic tumor. This occurswhen a fertilized egg does not become a fetus. The tumor is not always easy to find. In its early stages, it may seem a normal pregnancy. You should consult your doctor if you have vaginalbleeding (not menstrual) or if your baby has not moved at the expected time. It is very important to follow the treatment that the doctor assigned but it all depends on the type oftumor has spread to other places, and your overall health.
