Weekly Paclitaxel for Pregnancy Associated Breast Cancer.

Background: Pregnancy associated breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. When chemotherapy is indicated, although it is more common to use anthracycline-based chemotherapy as a first treatment, we suggest weekly paclitaxel as a valid alternative both in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting, as this allows for weekly assessment of maternal-fetal well-being and a quicker maternal and fetal bone marrow recovery in cases of unexpected preterm delivery.

Patients And Methods: We present a case series of pregnant breast cancer patients treated with weekly paclitaxel between 2016 and 2022.

Foods that can prevent the development of wheezing through their antioxidant effects contain vitamin C and selenium; blood levels of these elements correlate negatively with the risk of wheezing.
