The first ever detailed review of the commonest cases of cancer in pregnancy, their treatment and outcome.

Cancer in pregnancy presents physicians and their patients with a major dilemma. The urge to use the highest tolerable doses of chemotherapy, high doses of irradiation and surgery, has to be weighed carefully against their risks to the unborn baby. This book is the very first to attempt to quantify these risks, and to provide physicians with a core of knowledge that will be very relevant to making sound clinical decisions in the face of sometimes conflicting interests.
