OBJECTIVE: To characterise pregnant women diagnosed with primary or recurrent cancer who died during pregnancy, during delivery or within 1 year postpartum. DESIGN: A descriptive study. SETTING: The registry of the International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy (INCIP). POPULATION: Women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy between 2000 and 2022. METHODS: Using the INCIP registry database, we compared the characteristics of all women with cancer who died during pregnancy, delivery or within 1 year postpartum with those of all women with cancer who survived the first year postpartum. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Maternal and tumour characteristics and obstetrical and neonatal outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 2359 women registered in INCIP, there were 131 cases (5.6%) of maternal mortality. Lung cancer (9/14, 64.3% of all registered women with lung cancer), gastro-oesophageal cancer (13/21, 61.9%) and acute leukaemia (17/105, 16.2%) had the highest rates of maternal mortality. Maternal mortality was associated with fewer live births compared with the control group without maternal mortality (99/131, 75.6%, vs 1952/2163, 90.0%; P < 0.001), more elective caesarean sections (64/104, 60.4%, vs 756/1836, 41.2%; P < 0.001) and a lower gestational age at (induced) delivery (34.0 vs 37.1 weeks; P < 0.001), resulting in more preterm births. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal mortality occurred in 5.6% of cancer-in-pregnancy cases and is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To provide contemporary gestational age-specific recommendations for management, a retrospective series of patients with renal or bladder cancer during pregnancy is reported. METHODS: Obstetric and oncological data of pregnant patients with a diagnosis of renal or bladder cancer were selected from the worldwide registry of the International Network of Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy. In addition, the literature was reviewed for recent case reports since last reviews in 2014 for renal cancer and 2004 for bladder cancer. RESULTS: International Network of Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy registered 22 cases (14 renal cancer and 8 bladder cancer), diagnosed between 1999 and 2017, and the literature reported 15 cases with renal cancer and 10 cases with bladder cancer between 2004 and 2019. Most common symptoms for renal and bladder cancer were pain (28%) and hematuria (66%), respectively. In more than half of the patients, surgical treatment was performed during pregnancy. Preterm deliveries were mostly medically induced (12 of 17, 71%) and all patients with a planned delivery before 34 weeks had advanced cancer. For renal and bladder cancer respectively, 79% and 87% of patients obtained complete remission. Advanced cancer stages had worse prognosis; 3 of 7 patients with known follow-up deceased within 15 months after diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Gestational age at diagnosis determines further management of renal and bladder cancers during pregnancy. Advanced stages challenge decision-making. The maternal needs for immediate treatment, and the neonatal risks including the impact of a preterm delivery should be discussed in a multidisciplinary setting while respecting the patient's autonomy.

BACKGROUND: Outcomes for mother and child following a diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma during pregnancy are underinvestigated, and antenatal management of the disease has not been reported on widely. The aim of this study was to assess obstetric outcomes, antenatal management, and maternal survival in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed during pregnancy who were registered in the International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy (INCIP) database. METHODS: We did a multicentre, retrospective cohort study including oncological and obstetric data from 134 pregnant patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma between Jan 1, 1969, and Aug 1, 2018. Data collected from the INCIP database were obtained from 17 academic centres in Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Israel, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, the UK, and the USA. We analysed patients' management over three epochs (before 1995, 1995-2004, and 2005-18). Obstetric outcomes (birthweight, obstetric or neonatal complications, and admission to a neonatal intensive care unit [NICU]) of patients who received antenatal chemotherapy were compared to those of patients who did not receive antenatal treatment. Maternal progression-free and overall survival was assessed by disease stage at diagnosis in pregnant patients and compared with outcomes of non-pregnant patients with Hodgkin lymphoma selected from databases of three tertiary centres, matched for stage and prognostic score. All patients included in survival analyses received standard doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazone (ABVD) therapy since Jan 1, 1997. FINDINGS: Of the 134 pregnant patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma during pregnancy. 72 (54%) patients initiated antenatal chemotherapy, 56 (42%) did not receive treatment during pregnancy, and 6 (4%) received only radiotherapy. Over the years, chemotherapy was increasingly commenced during pregnancy. The incidence of neonates who were small for gestational age did not differ between chemotherapy-exposed neonates (15 [22%] of 69) and non-exposed neonates (six [16%] of 42; p=0·455). Admission to NICU also did not differ between groups (19 [29%] exposed to antenatal chemotherapy vs 12 [35%] unexposed to antenatal chemotherapy). Birthweight percentiles were lower in neonates prenatally exposed to chemotherapy compared with non-exposed neonates (p=0·035). Patients receiving antenatal therapy had more obstetric complications than those without antenatal therapy (p=0·005), the most common complications being preterm contractions (nine [12%] vs three [7%]) and preterm rupture of membranes (four [5%] vs 0). For the maternal survival analyses, we compared 77 pregnant patients and 211 non-pregnant, matched controls. 5-year progression-free survival for patients with early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma was 82·6% (95% CI 67·4-91·1) for 62 pregnant patients and 88·3% (81·6-92·7) for 142 controls (hazard ratio [HR] 1·80, 95% CI 0·84-3·87; p=0·130; 5-year overall survival was 97·3% (82·3-99·6) and 98·4% (93·6-99·6; HR 1·63, 0·35-7·65; p=0·534). In patients with advanced-stage disease (15 pregnant patients and 69 non-pregnant controls), 5-year progression-free survival was 90·9% (95% CI 50·8-98·7) versus 74·0% (60·9-83·3); HR 0·36, 95% CI 0·04-2·90; p=0·334. 5-year overall survival was 100% (no events occurred) and 96·2% (95% CI 85·5-99·1; HR cannot be estimated; p=0·146). INTERPRETATION: Occurrence of preterm contractions or preterm rupture of membranes was higher in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma receiving antenatal treatment compared with those who did not initiate treatment during pregnancy. Maternal survival did not differ between pregnant and non-pregnant patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, suggesting that antenatal chemotherapy or deferral of treatment until postpartum in selected patients can be considered, with regular obstetric follow-up to safeguard foetal growth.

BACKGROUND: Data on the long-term outcome of children who are exposed to maternal cancer with or without treatment during pregnancy are lacking. METHODS: In this multicenter case-control study, we compared children whose mothers received a diagnosis of cancer during the pregnancy with matched children of women without a cancer diagnosis. We used a health questionnaire and medical files to collect data regarding neonatal and general health. All children were prospectively assessed (by means of a neurologic examination and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development) at 18 months, 36 months, or both. A cardiac assessment was performed at 36 months. RESULTS: A total of 129 children (median age, 22 months; range, 12 to 42) were included in the group whose mother had cancer (prenatal-exposure group) with a matching number in the control group. During pregnancy, 96 children (74.4%) were exposed to chemotherapy (alone or in combination with other treatments), 11 (8.5%) to radiotherapy (alone or in combination), 13 (10.1%) to surgery alone, 2 (1.6%) to other drug treatments, and 14 (10.9%) to no treatment. Birth weight was below the 10th percentile in 28 of 127 children (22.0%) in the prenatal-exposure group and in 19 of 125 children (15.2%) in the control group (P=0.16). There was no significant between-group difference in cognitive development on the basis of the Bayley score (P=0.08) or in subgroup analyses. The gestational age at birth was correlated with the cognitive outcome in the two study groups. Cardiologic evaluation among 47 children at 36 months of age showed normal cardiac findings. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal exposure to maternal cancer with or without treatment did not impair the cognitive, cardiac, or general development of children in early childhood. Prematurity was correlated with a worse cognitive outcome, but this effect was independent of cancer treatment.

BACKGROUND: The concurrence of intracranial tumours with pregnancy is rare. The purpose of this study was to describe all reported patients registered in the international Cancer in Pregnancy registration study (CIP study; http://www.cancerinpregnancy.org), and to review the literature in order to obtain better insight into outcome and possibilities of treatment in pregnancy. METHODS: We collected all intracranial tumours (primary brain tumour, cerebral metastasis, or meningioma) diagnosed during pregnancy, registered prospectively and retrospectively by international collaboration since 1973. Patients diagnosed postpartum were excluded. We summarised the demographic features, treatment decisions, obstetrical and neonatal outcomes. RESULTS: The mean age of the 27 eligible patients was 31years (range 23-41years), of which 13 and 12 patients were diagnosed in the second and third trimesters, respectively. Eight patients (30%) underwent brain surgery, seven patients (26%) had radiotherapy and in three patients (11%) chemotherapy was administered during gestation. Two patients died during pregnancy and four pregnancies were terminated. In 16 (59%) patients elective caesarean section was performed of which 14 (52%) were still preterm (range 30-36weeks, mean 33weeks). Five patients had a vaginal delivery (range 36-40weeks). Of the 21 ongoing pregnancies all children were born alive without visible congenital malformations and the available long-term follow-up data (range 2-25years) of six children were reassuring. CONCLUSION: Adherence to standard protocol for the treatment of brain tumours during pregnancy appears to allow a term delivery and a higher probability of a vaginal delivery.
