Abstract
The issue of pregnancy in patients previously treated for breast cancer is controversial. This paper reviews the literature using Medline and Embase databases over the last 50 years to address the issue. Overall survival in patients treated for breast cancer who subsequently become pregnant compares favourably with controls. This paper also addresses the effects of adjuvant therapy (loco-regional and systemic) on subsequent pregnancy. Introduction of a national registry of these patients may help inform such patients in the future.Entities:
