Dear colleague Gabriela, 1. I had15 days ago a patient with breast cancer, 35 y. o., with 16 weeks of pregnacy. It was a T3N1M0 ( stage III ). 2. In stage III I usually do Qt pre-op., after that I do a radical modified mastectomy (Patey ), and after the surgery Qt again and Irradiation. 3. In this case I have decided to do first surgery( during the surgery I saw that the tumor infiltrated the pectoralis major, and then I had to do a Halsted surgery). Macroscopically there was several axillar linfonodes with metastasis. I did not receive yet the histopathology. 4. The pregnancy, BY ITSELF, does not worsen the prognostic of breast cancer. In fact, these cases have a bad prognostic due the age of the patient. As you know, in this age breast cancer is more agressive, and has bad prognostic factors. 5. I will talk with the patient about Qt in third trimester. What is your opinion? Do you agree with me? What think the members of the list ?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
