Perinatal complications in female survivors of cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
European Journal of Cancer Mar 28, 2019
van der Kooi ALLF, et al. - In female survivors of cancer diagnosed prior to 40 years of age, investigators assessed the risks of perinatal complications. They found an increased risk of prematurity and low birth weight, but not of being small for gestational age, among offspring of cancer survivors. They observed higher rates of elective as well as the emergency cesarean section and assisted vaginal delivery among cancer survivors. They recorded cancer survivors at an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage. A proactive strategy in both counseling and management of perinatal care for cancer survivors is needed due to these increased perinatal risks.
