Breast Cancer Chemo Does Not Harm Fetus

Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant can be treated with standard chemotherapy regimens after the 12th gestational week without endangering the health of the fetus. Fetal outcomes were not significantly different when 121 newborns of women who were treated with chemotherapy were compared with 36 newborns of women who did not receive chemotherapy in pregnancy.
