Melanoma/Interferon in PregnancyFrom: Bob Collins (rcollins@powerup.com.au)Mon Sep 9 22:31:33 1996
Hi Mark, I researched this subject about 4 years ago, and came up with a whole 1 documented case. What I can tell you is that I have been on Interferon since 1990 and now have a 3 1/2 year old daughter. At the time I was on 9 million units/day for CML, and am at present on 6 million units/day. I'm not sure what info you require but can tell you my story and where I got my info if your interested. Debby Collins, Midwife / Mother Bribane Australia I have a new ob patient in the first trimester with a recent history of wide excision of a malignant melanoma..with a Clark IV degree of invasion. I believe the nodes are negative. the excision occurred a few months ago..about 2-3 to be more accurate. Does anyone know of articles/studies with regards to interferon use in pregnancy? I suspect dosing issues/ that is the treatment course usually used for malignant melanoma will be different than for local injections for HP V. <her oncologist has a letter in the chart recommending interferon therapy..dated before the positive pregnancy test.> I would think that stimulating the immune response systemically may increase the risk of pregnancy rejection. I have no idea if that is true or not. anyone else run into this situation? Mark mark decker md major surgery is done on me obgyn - avid biker minor surgery I do one someone else. midwest usa I need to remember that. <perspective>.
