Data on the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of children exposed to hematological maternal cancer with or without treatment during pregnancy are lacking. A total of 57 children, of whom 33 males and 24 females, prenatally exposed to hematological malignancies and its treatment, were invited for neuropsychological and physical examinations at 18 months, 36 months, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 years of age. Oncological, obstetrical, neonatal and follow-up data of these children were collected. Parents were asked to complete questionnaires on their child's general health, school performances, social situation, behavioral development, executive functioning, and if their child receives supportive care. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed in 35.1%, Hodgkin lymphoma in 28.1%, acute myeloid leukemia in 15.8%, chronic myeloid leukemia in 12.3%, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 8.8%. Cognitive development at a median age of 10.7 years was within the normal range. In subgroup analyses of children in early childhood, the gestational age at birth was correlated with the cognitive outcome at a median age of 1.7 years. Scores for language development, intelligence, attention, memory and behavior, as well as clinical neurological and general pediatric examinations were within normal ranges. In subgroup analyses, the need for supportive care in the child was associated with the loss of the mother. Prenatal exposure to hematological maternal malignancies with or without treatment did not affect the neurodevelopment of the child in the long term. Yet, caution is indicated and surveillance of the emotional development of the child is needed, especially when the mother is deceased to cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Gastric cancer during pregnancy is extremely rare and data on optimal treatment and possible chemotherapeutic regimens are scarce. The aim of this study is to describe the obstetric and maternal outcome of women with gastric cancer during pregnancy and review the literature on antenatal chemotherapy for gastric cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Treatment and outcome of patients registered in the International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy database with gastric cancer diagnosed during pregnancy were analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 13 women with gastric cancer during pregnancy were registered between 2002 and 2018. Median gestational age at diagnosis was 22 weeks (range 6-30 weeks). Twelve women were diagnosed with advanced disease and died within 2 years after pregnancy, most within 6 months. In total, eight out of 10 live births ended in a preterm delivery because of preeclampsia, maternal deterioration, or therapy planning. Two out of six women who initiated chemotherapy during pregnancy delivered at term. Two neonates prenatally exposed to chemotherapy were growth restricted and one of them developed a systemic infection with brain abscess after preterm delivery for preeclampsia 2 weeks after chemotherapy. No malformations were reported. CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of gastric cancer during pregnancy is poor, mainly due to advanced disease at diagnosis, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis. Antenatal chemotherapy can be considered to reach fetal maturity, taking possible complications such as growth restriction, preterm delivery, and hematopoietic suppression at birth into account.
