@entity1 @entity16488 @entity5
The effect of pregnancy on @entity1 with @entity16488 of the vagina and cervix was evaluated based upon a review of 503 cases. Eighty-five had been pregnant (24 at diagnosis), 408 had never been pregnant, and the pregnancy history was unavailable in 10 cases. All of the 24 @entity1 pregnant at diagnosis were over 16 years of age; 14 were in the first trimester, 6 in the second, and 4 in the third trimester. By FIGO criteria, 15 were stage I, 7 stage II, and 2 were stage III. The 24 pregnant and 408 never pregnant (age corrected) cases were compared with regard to maternal hormone history, symptoms, stage, location, predominant histologic or cell type, greatest @entity5 diameter, surface area, depth of invasion, grade, and number of mitoses. No significant differences were detected. Twelve of the 24 pregnant @entity1 had radical hysterectomy with or without irradiation (9 stage I, 3 stage II); of the 7 treated by local therapy (5 stage I, 2 stage II), 3 required additional therapy due to persistent disease; 4 had radiotherapy alone (1 stage I, 2 stage II, and 1 stage III); one had teletherapy followed by exenteration (stage III). Six of the 24 died 2 to 12 years after diagnosis (1 stage I, 3 stage II, 2 stage III). Eighteen are alive at 1 to 17 years. The overall 5 and 10 year actuarial survival rates (age adjusted) for the group pregnant at diagnosis (86 and 68%) do not differ significantly from the never pregnant group. Pregnancy does not seem to adversely affect the outcome of @entity16488 . Guidelines are presented to treat pregnant @entity1 with @entity16488 .
