Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes of planned delay in treatment for cervical microinvasive squamous cancer during pregnancy.Methods A prospective study of pregnant women was done from August 1,2007 to May 31,2010.Pregnant women who had not been carried out cervical cytological screening within one year were got thin-prep cytology test (TCT) screening at their initial prenatal visit.Patients with abnormal cytological results were performed colposcopic examination and directed biopsy.Women with cervical microinvasive cancer were followed up every 8 to 12 weeks.If lesion progression were suspected,compared with previous image,repeated biopsy directed by colposcopy should be performed.Once worsening invasive cancer was confirmed,the pregnancy should be terminated timely.All patients should be reevaluated 6 to 12 weeks postpartum with repeated colposcopic examination and biopsy.All mothers were performed cold knife conization (CKC) at 6 to 12 weeks postpartum.Results We totally diagnosed 17 cases cervical microinvasive squamous carcinoma during pregnancy.The positive rate is 6.2/10 000 (17/27 230).After informed consent,15 pregnant women decided to delay treatment until fetal maturation.The mean gestational age of initial diagnosis was (19.3 ± 5.9) weeks.The women were followed up 2 to 4 times during pregnancy.Only 1 patient was verified lesion progression by directed biopsy at 34 weeks and delivered by cesarean section.The progression rate during pregnancy was 1/15.The mean delivered time was (37.1 ± 1.8) weeks (ranged from 34 to 40 weeks).The mean diagnosis-to-delivery interval was (18.4 ± 5.2) weeks.All patients were delivered by cesarean section and all newborns had good outcomes.Finally we confirmed 1 case with cervical cancer stage Ⅰ a2,11 cases with stage Ⅰ al,3 cases with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅲ by pathological diagnosis after CKC during 6 to 12 weeks postpartum.All cases were disease free after follow-up ranged from 22 to 48 months.Conclusions It is necessary to perform TCT screening for pregnant women who have not been carried out cervical cytology screening within 1 year.If cervical microinvasive squamous cancer were suspected during pregnancy,in order to achieve fetal maturity it is acceptable for the women who desired pregnancy to delay treatment under closely monitoring until postpartum.
