Does pregnancy influence the prognosis of malignant melanoma?
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 1993 October
The effect of pregnancy on the clinical course of malignant melanoma (MM) is unclear. Early clinical and laboratory evidence suggested a relation between hormones and MM and subsequently between pregnancy and MM. We reviewed the literature on MM and pregnancy to address three questions: What is the effect on prognosis if an MM is diagnosed during pregnancy? What is the effect of previous pregnancies on the prognosis of MM? What effect does a subsequent pregnancy have on the prognosis of MM? On the basis of a limited number of controlled studies, it does not appear that being pregnant before, after, or at the time of diagnosis of stage I MM influences the 5-year survival rate. However, caution in interpreting these data must be taken because it is possible that the duration of follow-up and size of the study populations are not sufficient to observe a true effect.
