Adenocarcinoma de pulmón en gestante

Lung cancer is the most common neoplasm in developed countries and the first cause of cancerrelated death in men, although currently there has been a significant increase in women. It remains a rare condition during pregnancy, but the association of lung cancer and gestation has been increasing in recent years. It seems to be more aggressive and diagnosed mainly at advances stages during pregnancy. Choosing the most appropriate treatment is very difficult and there is not enough information to establish the management. We report a case of a 38 year-old pregnant woman with stage IIIA lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed in the 27th week. At week 29 a decision was made to terminate the pregnancy. As the tumour was unresectable, she subsequently underwent combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
