Breast cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed during or directly after pregnancy. Differences in pathogenesis and prognosis identify two distinct patient groups, those with breast cancer during pregnancy and those with postpartum breast cancer which, for reasons not completely understood, is associated with worse outcomes. Compared with breast cancer in the non-pregnant patient, several limitations in terms of both local and systemic therapy are applied to limit fetal harm. Treatment is nevertheless delivered with curative intent, therefore avoiding harmful delays in therapy initiation, unnecessary therapy de-escalation or chemotherapy dose modifications is strongly recommended. In this short commentary, we briefly review current evidence and treatment guidelines and provide recommendations for optimal oncologic management of pregnancy-related breast cancer.
