Abstract

Pregnancy-associated breast cancer is defined as breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy or in the first postpartum year. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies to occur during pregnancy. As more women delay childbearing, the incidence of breast cancer in pregnancy is increasing. This article provides an overview of diagnosis, staging, and treatment of pregnancy-associated breast cancer. Recommendations for management of breast cancer in pregnancy are discussed.
