Taxanes during pregnancy in cervical cancer: A systematic review and pooled analysis

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy with an estimated incidence of 1:2,000-10,000 pregnancies[11]. Discrepancies in inclusion criteria, such as live births, births beyond 20 weeks etc, may explain the variation of these results. Moreover an underestimation of the incidence of cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy may be due to lack of data of pregnancies that ended in a miscarriage or induced abortion. Management of cervical cancer during pregnancy represents a challenge for physicians due to its low incidence and to the lack of strong data.
