Abstract

Abstract : Obstet Gynecol Surv 2016;71(3):144–146 Among women in whom cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy, factors such as maternal illness, diagnostic tests, cancer treatment, and increased levels of maternal stress can negatively influence fetal development. In this multicenter, prospective case-control study involving 129 children and their matched control subjects, the effects of prenatal exposure to maternal cancer and cancer treatment on general health, prenatal and postnatal growth, cognitive development, and cardiac structure and function were documented.
