Neoplasms that arise during pregnancy or within the first year of childbirth are rare events, the occurrence of which, however, tends to increase due to the advancement of the age of reproduction. The simultaneous manifestation of the two events determines in the woman a deep distress due partly to oncological treatments and partly to the woman's wish to experience the "normality of pregnancy". Anxiety, depressive thoughts and fear of the illness reoccurring are all elements that increase the ambivalences that are normally associated with pregnancy. The dedicated healthcare professionals must guarantee a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, custom-made for the woman specifically, and for her family, during her path through pregnancy and illness.
