Breast Cancer Caused by Pregnancy
BreastCancer Diagnosed During Pregnancy:
Pregnancy-related
breast cancer is uncommon, although one in every 3000 pregnant women is
diagnosed. Many women have gone on to have healthy infants and live healthy
lives after being diagnosed with breast cancer; in fact, research has shown
that pregnant women with breast cancer do just as well as non-pregnant women.
Pregnancy-related breast cancer is defined as any breast cancer discovered
during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or within a year of childbirth.
Breast
cancer can be difficult to identify due to changes in the breast that occur
during pregnancy and lactation. As a result, pregnancy-related breast tumours
are larger and more advanced than those found in non-pregnant women.
Nonetheless, many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are safe for pregnant women
and their newborns.
BreastCancer Staging and Treatment During Pregnancy:
Treatment
for breast cancer discovered during pregnancy will be determined by the stage
of the tumour and the stage of your pregnancy. Most pregnancy-related breast
cancers are treated with a combination of local and systemic therapy, though
treatment may alter or be performed in a different order than if you were not
pregnant.
The goal of
local therapy is to keep cancer from returning to the breast. Local therapy
in general consists of either breast conservation surgery (lumpectomy with
radiation) or mastectomy. Although radiation is not indicated during pregnancy,
a lumpectomy can be performed during pregnancy and radiation can begin after
the baby is delivered.
Systemic therapy is intended to keep the disease from returning or spreading to other areas of the body. This may include endocrine (hormone) therapy, chemotherapy, and HER2 protein-targeting therapy. Various methods of treatment are frequently used in tandem to produce the best results.
Chemotherapy
is not administered during the first trimester because it can result in birth
abnormalities or the loss of the baby. However, certain chemotherapy can be
administered safely during the second and third trimesters without causing harm
to the foetus.
Chemotherapy
administered before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment) may be advised during
pregnancy.
If your
tumour produces oestrogen or progesterone, your doctor may suggest endocrine
(hormone) therapy. Endocrine therapy is not advised during pregnancy but can
be started after the baby is born.
If your
tumour is HER2 positive (expresses the HER2 protein), medications that target
HER2 may be included in your treatment plan and will begin after you give
birth.
Your doctors
may discuss with you the option of having your baby delivered early so that
therapy can begin as soon as possible.
Breast cancer treatment has an impact on breastfeeding. Chemotherapy and hormonal
therapy may transfer into breast milk and are frequently unsafe for the baby if
performed on a lactating breast. It may be advised that you discontinue or
postpone nursing. A lactation consultant may be able to answer your
breastfeeding questions now and in the future.
