Abstract
Abstract
The occurrence of acute leukemia during pregnancy is a rare pathologic situation and requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes at least a hematologist, gynecologist, neurologist, or psychotherapist and sometimes even intensive care unit care. The difficulties in caring for such a patient are many, from determining the risk associated with continuing the pregnancy, to choosing diagnostic tools and therapy appropriate for such a situation, to considering the patient's wishes and preferences.
Below, we present the approach for cases of acute leukemia in pregnancy diagnosed and treated at the Emergency University Hospital of Bucharest (SUUB), Hematology Department, between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2022, during a 6-year period.
