Experience of personalized management of patients with breast cancer associated with pregnancy

Abstract

The clinical case of a patient with pregnancy-associated breast cancer observed in Sverdlovsk Regional Oncological Dispensary was analyzed. The information obtained from the electronic map of obstetric database and the medical history of oncological dispensary regarding the results of clinical examination as well as the data of instrumental and laboratory research were used. The tactics of managing this patient was discussed at the Regional Obstetric and Interdisciplinary Consultation with the participation of oncologists; a compromise concept was chosen, which implies surgical treatment of malignant neoplasms followed by chemotherapy during pregnancy and early delivery at the term when a child is viable 34 weeks of pregnancy. At present, preference is given to personalized tactics of pregnancy management and treatment of pregnancy-associated breast cancer using an interdisciplinary approach with the participation of medical specialists: obstetrician-gynecologist, oncologist-surgeon, oncologist-chemotherapist, radiotherapist, anesthesiologist-resuscitator, neonatologist, pathologist. The described clinical case demonstrates successful implementation of this approach, as evidenced by the favourable outcome of childbirth as well as the absence of recurrence and progression of the tumor process in dynamics.
