Abstract
Although a rare occurrence, cancer is sometimes diagnosed during or shortly after pregnancy. This article reviews two recent studies that specifically examine the psychosocial impact of a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy. Researchers have identified risk factors that may exacerbate women's anxiety, stress or distress during these coâoccurring events. Nurses are in a unique position to support women dealing with a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy.
