ABSTRACT
Approximately 1 in 1000 women will be diagnosed with cancer while pregnant.1-3 While this rate seems quite low, the incidence of cancer in pregnancy is increasing, in part due to the increasing age at which women are becoming pregnant.4 Cervical cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in the pregnant patient, with an estimated incidence of approximately 1 in 2200,5 followed by breast cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, and other malignancies.
