Abstract

Compared with the early symptoms of non-pregnancy, the early pregnancy with cervical cancer is often confused with threatened abortion, so it is difficult to diagnose and delay the time of treatment. At present, compared with cervical cancer, there is no clear and standard treatment for cervical cancer in pregnancy. At present, the diagnosis and treatment plan is mainly made according to the pathological examination, staging, fetal development (whether there is abnormality on ultrasound and whether the chromosome karyotype is normal or not) and the pregnant women and their family members' pregnancy wishes. A case of pregnancy complicated with cervical cancer who was terminated by planned cesarean section after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with irregular vaginal bleeding as the first symptom was analyzed retrospectively.

Keywords: Cesarean section; NACT; Pregnancy with cervical cancer.
