ABSTRACT
Invasive Cervical Cancer Invasive carcinoma of the cervix occurs in approximately 1 out of 2200 pregnancies, but this incidence is declining due to widespread and improved Papanicolau screening (63,64). Tumor characteristics and maternal survival are not adversely affected by pregnancy (64). Unlike nonpregnant patients, presenting symptoms are more likely to be abnormal Papanicolau screens rather than bleeding. The predominant histologic type is squamous cell. Prognosis is comparable to nonpregnant patients (64-67).
