Enhancing Evidence for Preconception and Prenatal Counseling on Obstetrical Risks After Cancer

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this issue of the Journal, Zgardau and colleagues present a detailed assessment of obstetric and perinatal outcomes after childhood and adolescent cancer in Ontario, Canada. Included cancers were diagnosed at ages younger than 21years during 1985-2012. The majority cancer types were leukemias or lymphomas (47.5%), followed by central nervous system tumors (18.7%), and all other cancer types combined (33.9%). Using data from a single-payer insurance program, the investigators compared obstetric and perinatal outcomes between female cancer survivors and a comparison population of women without cancer, matched 5:1 on age and postal code, and within the survivor population.
