Pregnancy and cancer
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
For individuals who can get pregnant, cancer diagnosis and treatment must take into account current pregnancy status, health of the developing fetus, and future fertility. Additionally, pregnancy symptoms may mask cancer symptoms, delaying diagnosis. For biological females who are diagnosed with cancer, fertility planning should be addressed as part of the treatment plan. Although this is particularly a concern for patients diagnosed with gynecological cancers, treatment for other cancer types may also affect reproductive potential; therefore, including obstetricians and fertility specialists when treating biological females with cancer is vital, particularly as many cancer patients are being diagnosed at younger ages.
This Collection invites original research on pregnancy or fertility in cancer in biological females, including clinical research and preclinical studies assessing the effect of cancer treatment on pregnancy and fertility.
