Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic data of hematological malignancies in pregnancy. Leukemia in pregnancy is rare, and literature data are not extensive. Risk factors, epidemiology and pathogenesis of these diseases are not fully developed. Furthermore, there is a detailed report on the complications in pregnancy and the overall (per trimester) management of these diseases, specifically their treatment strategy. The possibility of achieving a future pregnancy in women with leukemia is described in the present study. The limited clinical research data currently available is mainly due to the inability to conduct randomized clinical trials for ethical reasons. Further research is needed, firstly due to the importance of these diseases for the pregnant woman and the fetus, and secondly, due to the continuous development of novel anticancer drugs that aim to improve the prognosis of these diseases.
