46 Breast Cancer During Pregnancy: Systemic Therapy Fetal and Obstetric Care General Recommendations: Chemotherapy is generally safe beyond the first trimester of gestation. However, increased rates of premature delivery and growth retardation have been reported. Pregnancies where the fetus has been exposed to chemotherapy starting in the second trimester should be regarded as high-risk and regular fetal monitoring during gestation should be considered. Full-term delivery (i.e. 37 weeks) should be targeted whenever possible. Early or very early delivery should be discouraged, unless maternal and/or fetal health are endangered by the postponement of delivery until term. Peccatori FA et al, Ann Oncol 2013;24:v160-70

60 Take Home Messages (1/2) Age per se should not be considered a reason to administer more aggressive therapies Breast cancer arising in young women is biologically distinct beyond differences in breast cancer subtypes Specific attention should be paid in the management of young patients with luminal disease The investigation of tailored therapeutic strategies is warranted given their unique biology

61 Take Home Messages (2/2) Breast cancer during pregnancy should be managed in center with the adequate expertise The goal of treatments is to achieve full-term delivery Following available guidelines, the treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy is safe for both the mother and the baby Pregnancy after breast cancer can be considered safe also in patients with ER+ disease
