Abstract
Cancer in pregnancy is rare, however, prognosis is often compromised by delayed diagnosis. Management decisions are complicated by fears for fetal safety and the emotional burden on affected families is immense. In volume 12 issue 4 of this journal, the general principles of managing pregnancies complicated by cancer were discussed. The case histories chosen for this article illustrate these concepts well and underline the individualised approach needed for managing pregnant women with co-existing malignant disease.
