Because of the uncommon synchronous occurrence of pregnancy and invasive cervical carcinoma, this disease entity remains poorly understood. In addition inconsistent reporting has precluded meaningful meta-analysis. About 1 in 2000 pregnancies are associated with cervical cancer and pregnancy is a complication in approximately 3 percent of patients with cervical cancer. There is little evidence to suggest that the pregnancy has an influence on prognosis. Although not firmly established, vaginal delivery may have an adverse effect on outcome. Timing of delivery must be individualized inasmuch as there is a role for delaying treatment in order to achieve fetal lung maturity. Surgery and radiotherapy should be utilized in the same stage-dependent manner as in nonpregnant patients but management should be individualized and undertaken by a multidisciplinary team. These and other issues are discussed more fully in this review.
