  • Summary

    This chapter considers cervical and endometrial cancer in relation to pregnancy, dealing with both the situation where the diagnosis is made at a time when future pregnancy is desired and the situation where the diagnosis is made during pregnancy. In general, surgical treatment for cervical cancer is reserved for early-stage disease or, rarely, for women with recurrent disease. The number of women who develop endometrial cancer during the reproductive phase of their lives is small, and the number who is diagnosed in pregnancy is very small indeed. However, there are a number of epidemiological factors that may be relevant in this group and these are discussed in this chapter. The standard management for women with endometrial cancer is a staging laparotomy according to Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) guidelines, at which a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy are performed.
