Abstract

Cancer in pregnancy is rare, and most physicians lack knowledge in handling pregnant cancer patients. This review summarises the present knowledge on this condition. In the Netherlands, an Advisory Board on Cancer in Pregnancy was established in 2012. The board supports Dutch physicians' decisions in the management of pregnant patients with cancer. In 2021 the International Advisory Board on Cancer in Pregnancy was established, and in continuation, the Danish Advisory Board on Cancer in Pregnancy (DABCIP) has now been founded. DABCIP consists of 22 members from 13 different medical disciplines.
