💨 Abstract

Pregnancy-associated cancers, though rare, are increasing in Australia. Breast and skin cancers (often melanoma) are common, as well as thyroid, gynaecological, and blood cancers. Researchers are unsure of the reasons for the rise. Treatment options may need to be adjusted to consider the fetus's health, with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy being used cautiously.
