Effects of Oncological Treatment During Pregnancy on Mother and Child

Summary

The researchers aim to investigate the outcome (overall survival) of mothers who are diagnosed and/or treated for cancer during pregnancy. Furthermore they want to test the hypothesis that children who were exposed to cancer or cancer treatment (cytotoxic drugs, radiation therapy, targeted therapy,...) develop normally (neurologic and cardiologic examination).
