Abstract :

In Poland, sarcomas represent about 1% of all cancer diseases. Every year about 800 new cases are diagnosed. Osteosarcoma is the most frequently recognized primary primary malignant bone tumor. Osteosarcomas are diagnosed more frequently in children and adolescent males, whereas in pregnant women they are extremely rare. We present a case of a 29-year-old pregnant woman with a highly diverse osteosarcoma. A patient which was in 23rd week of pregnancy was treated with multiple doses of chemotherapy while fetal health was being monitored. The plan for a therapeutic process included inducing a pregnancy solution at the moment of the fetus reaching maturity, then continuing oncological treatment. According to the established protocol of treatment in 34 week pregnancy was completed via cesarean section. The woman gave birth to a daughter in good condition. Surgical treatment was conducted after delivery until complete post-pregnancy healing. There was no reduction of dose or quantity of planned and conducted courses of chemotherapy due to pregnancy. The paper offers an analysis of diagnosis and therapy of pregnant women with osteosarcoma based on own experience and on the basis of a relevant literature.
