Can you be treated for cancer when you're pregnant?

Best Answer

Yes.

Some cancer treatments are safe during pregnancy.

Surgery is considered the safest treatment option.

Most chemotherapy drugs are blocked by the placenta, and so are considered safe after the placenta has fully developed (after the first trimester).

Ending the pregnancy does not seem to improve the mother's chance of survival.
