Synopsis: Specialists in clinical pharmacology, maternal-fetal toxicology, and hemato-oncology present evidence-based information to help physicians address complex issues of maternal diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and long-term impact on the unborn child. They cover specific tumors during pregnancy, fetal effects of cancer treatments and interventions, managing maternal complications during treatment, and long-term effects of in utero exposure on children. Among specific topics are breast cancer and pregnancy, treating acute and chronic leukemia during pregnancy, pregnancy and radiation, managing nutritional problems in the pregnant cancer patient, and the fertility of children exposed in utero to chemotherapy.
