Cancer in Pregnancy and Lactation: The Motherisk Guide

چکیده
Diagnosis Although magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic method of choice [4] and can be repeated many times in pregnancy [5], ultrasound, biopsy to stage the tumor, and clinical examination remain equally safe and important in arriving at the diagnosis. Tests applying X-rays or gamma-rays (isotope scans) should be avoided [6]. Independence of bone tumors from hormonal regulation was shown [3]. The association of bone neoplasm with pregnancy may be fortuitous [7]. Rare cases of recurrent bone tumors diagnosed during pregnancy might be due to increased medical surveillance [8].
