Abstract

TARTAS, Norma E; FONCUBERTA, María C  and  SANCHEZ AVALOS, Julio C. Treatment of hematologic neoplasms during pregnancy. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.67, n.6, pp.729-736. ISSN 0025-7680.

The most common hematological malignancy in pregnant patients is Hodgkin's lymphoma, but other diseases such as chronic and acute leukemia or non Hodgkin's lymphoma have also been reported. In the last decade, new drugs have changed the prognostic of acute promyelocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and non Hodgkin's lymphoma. Herein we present updated information on drugs and treatments, new developments, mechanism of action, clinical application, experience on treatment outcomes, adverse effects and teratogenesis, with the objective of orienting hematologists, oncologists and pediatricians. The medical team should offer the most efficient treatment available in order to achieve cure or remission of the disease, and also inform on possible risks for the mother and the fetus, as well as those derived from the delay in treatment application.

Keywords : Hematologic neoplasms; Chemotherapy; Radiotherapy; Pregnancy.
