Title: [Effect of pregnancy on the course of lymphogranulomatosis]. Author: Korchmaru IF, Paraskova AM. Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1982; 28(7):34-8. PubMed ID: 7101826. Abstract: The relationship of pregnancy and the course of Hodgkin's disease is discussed on the basis of 30 cases. 16 femalles became pregnant during complete remission: in 10 out of them, remission followed radical radiation therapy. Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed during pregnancy in 11 cases and within the first several weeks after delivery in 3 cases. The course of pregnancy and delivery were normal in all cases and the babies were normal, too. Pregnancy aggravated the disease during exacerbation period only. In most females who became pregnant during remission exacerbation was not observed. It is concluded that pregnancy and birth are not contraindicated in patients with local stage I--II Hodgkin's disease two years after the beginning of remission. Pregnancy is contraindicated during exacerbation period, irrespective of tumor stage.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
