A Narrative Review of Lung Cancer During Pregnancy

Mohan P. Murugan *, Swami S. Pully

Lung cancer, which has been the leading cause of cancer deaths in men for decades, has recently become one of the most common causes in women as well. As women postpone having children, the coexistence of cancer and pregnancy is becoming more common. Nonetheless, lung cancer during pregnancy is a rare condition, with only about 70 cases reported in recent years. Non-small cell lung carcinoma is the most common, accounting for approximately 85% of all cases. The overall survival rate is low. Chemotherapy and/or targeted treatment have had poor results. It has also been discovered that the disease affects the products of conception, with no shortor long-term consequences for the neonate. This article refers to a narrative review of lung cancer diagnoses in pregnant women worldwide.
