Survival in Women Diagnosed With Breast Cancer During Pregnancy.

Introduction: Pregnancy rarely coincides with breast cancer, but when it does, uncertainties remain about how survival is affected. In a nation-wide study, we investigated survival in women diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: Through health registries, we identified women with breast cancer at ages 15-44 years from 1973-2016 in Denmark and included 156 who were pregnant at diagnosis and 11,110 who were not.

Pregnancy-associated cancer and the risk of second primary cancer.

Purpose: Hormonal changes related to pregnancy and lactation among women treated for cancer might influence the risk of second primary cancer. We investigated whether pregnancy near the time of breast cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma or other cancer diagnoses is associated with increased risk of developing a new primary cancer.

Methods: Women born after 1 April 1935 diagnosed with cancer at ages 15-44 years during 1968-2006 were identified in the Danish Cancer Registry.

Mortality Among Women With Cervical Cancer During or Shortly After a Pregnancy in Denmark 1968 to 2006.

Objective: Cervical cancer diagnosed in relation to a pregnancy is rare; however, the current trend to have children later in life increases the risk of pregnancy and cervical cancer coinciding. We investigated the mortality of women diagnosed with cervical cancer during or in relation to a pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: From the nationwide Danish Cancer Registry, we identified women diagnosed with a primary cervical cancer at ages 15 to 44 years during 1968 to 2006 born after April 1, 1935.

[The hepatopulmonary syndrome].

The hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) - a complication of liver disease - seems to be underdiagnosed, probably because of decreased awareness. HPS consists of the triade liver disease, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and as a consequence arterial hypoxaemia. No medical therapy has proven effective perhaps with the exception of garlic, which has been effective in one controlled clinical trial.

[Cancer can be a differential diagnosis by psychiatric symptoms].

We present a patient with psychiatric symptoms as the first manifestation from an undetected brain tumor. The patient had symptoms of psychosis and a prior history with depression. A slight alteration in consciousness was found but no neurological deficits.

Persistent genital arousal disorder: confluent patient history of agitated depression, paroxetine cessation, and a tarlov cyst.

We report a case of a woman suffering from persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) after paroxetine cessation. She was admitted to a psychiatric department and diagnosed with agitated depression. Physical investigation showed no gynaecological or neurological explanation; however, a pelvic MRI scan revealed a Tarlov cyst.

Incidence of pregnancy-associated cancer in Denmark, 1977-2006.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of pregnancy-associated cancer during a 30-year period in Denmark on the basis of both births and abortions with and without age adjustment and age standardization.

Methods: Using data from the nationwide Danish registries, we investigated the occurrence of pregnancy-associated cancer (defined as cancer diagnosed during pregnancy and up to 1 year after pregnancy has ended) in pregnancies resulting in a birth (live birth or stillbirth) or an abortion. We included patients with primary cancer diagnosed at ages 15-44 years during 1977-2006 according to the Danish Cancer Registry.
